The next morning Greg answers the door to find a short man in a brown tail coat. Greg rolls his eyes, "Hello Humphrey, what drab news are you delivering today?"
Humphrey stands up straight and hands Greg a white envelope with a blue seal. "The Duchess is sending out dinner invitations sir!" He salutes standing tall with his feet together.
Greg sighs and closes the door in Humphrey's face looking down at the envelope. He walks back towards the bedroom opening it carefully.
" Ca c'était quoi, Grell?" Stephan leans in the bedroom doorway completely naked, the morning sun coming through the window showering his body in a golden glow, defining each muscle like some ancient Greek god.
Greg walks back looking down at the letter as he breaks the seal and unfolds it, then scans through it . "It seems that your mother is inviting my family and I to a dinner party next week," he says with a deep frown on his face. He looks up and can't help but smile at the beauty his eyes feast upon in front of him, stopping him in his tracks "Wow, must you do that to me?" Greg grins and goes to Stephan laying a hand on his chest running well manicured nails over it with a playful grin.
Stephan ignores him taking the letter and reading over it quickly, "Je dois y aller, my family will be expecting me at breakfast this morning." He turns and goes to the bedroom grabbing his clothes, pulling them on quickly. "I'm sure my mother is already up and looking for me to help with her party plans." He combs his hair impatiently and gives Greg a chaste kiss as he heads out the door slamming it behind him.
Greg stands looking at the closed door, his hand holding his robe closed, "Je t'aime..." He turns and walks back to the bedroom roughly wiping away a stubborn tear that keeps trying to fall.
