The trip back to DC for New Years celebrations was smooth, thanks to the organisational prowess of Pez. Private air travel still troubles a small part of Alex's working class soul but public transport is impossible with two members of the Royal family, a billionaire philanthropist, the White house trio and their security.
He'll just have to suck it up, Alex thinks ironically and watches Henry from under his lashes as he drinks his beer.
Pez and Henry are sitting sipping gin, just after the flight has taken off.
"You look happy darling" Pez says, I take it things are going well?'
"Things are really good I'm a little worried that I might cock it up"
"You have talked, and straightened every thing out right? Its not just been a week long shag-a-thon"
"Yes, we are aiming for equal parts talking to shagging" Henry laughs.
"... and he is good with it?"
"With what?"
"Oh you know, the whole you running away and ghosting him for months, then ignoring his romantic gesture and shagging your ex thing?"
"Oh god when you put it like that! I hope so...I mean he says is"
"That man needs to be canonised! I love you darling but I'm not sure even I could forgive all of that! That one is a keeper. I do hope you realise that, right.
"I am exceedingly aware."
Somewhere over Philadelphia, a small tinny sound can be heard above the cabin hum.
"Darling your phone is ringing... its Eido",Alex says gesturing to Henry's armrest with a nod of his head.
Henry tilts his head "What is that?"
"Destiny's child, Say my name" Alex reply's smiling coyly.
"Alex" Henry sighs, blushing prettily, shakes his head and answers "Ciao Bello come stai?
Across the isle Pez laughs so suddenly he snorts gin out of his nose.
Ellen's second term in office is officially drawing to it's conclusion. She is never going to be happy with the Republican candidate that is going to be taking over the Oval Office but is content in the knowledge that Richards is cosy in a small Up-state New York prison, "Fuck with my family, she thinks hotly, and find out!"
She is already looking for her next move, despite Leo wanting a quieter existence.
"Darlins.." she drawls every inch the southern Mom, kissing them all, she is buzzing with excitement to have them all under one, expansive roof.
"It's a pity your Momma couldn't join us ,she says to Bea, now that would have been a hell of a party."
"Alex, you and Henry are in your old room, Nora honey you're in the Blue room down the hall, right next to you Beatrice and you darlin' she says to Pez, are situated in the Queens rooms, I thought you may like it" she laughs, and strokes his hair, coloured to echo it's aggressively pink decor.
"Unless, she says turning to June, y'all want to make your own arrangements."
