Stay Over.
The day passed faster than anyone had anticipated. The bunch of friends and family that had taken a late night flight to Country M ended up waking up late, and it had been late in the afternoon once they had gotten over their jet lag. In contrast, Jen and Lucas were teasing each other at home as they tried hard not to give in to their impulses.
When everyone met, it was already evening. They all met in the hotel restaurant's private room. Fortunately, when they all gathered, Jen was all but ready for distraction because she found herself in that situation where the more someone tells you not to do something, the more you want to do it.
Lucas was even more excited, especially after he saw David. He remembered how much easier work was with David around, but now that he didn't have someone to lighten his burden, he couldn't help but reminisce on the old day.
