She had not talked to her boss too much but a dinner with Avery should go fine at least she hoped. She did not know though so she was going to take it one thing at a time and go from there. "David are you ready? I think she should be on the way," she asked as she finished setting the table. David LightfeatherAvery Ashford |

Avery preferred to stay to herself but considering she had been invited here she could not turn it down no that would look funny so she knocked. "Hello," she said carefully. The last thing that she wanted to be known as was a bad dinner guest. David LightfeatherPeyton Coldstone |

David had just taken out tonight's dinner from the oven and timing was everything. The fish pie was creamy underneath, the fish tender and the creamed potato topping browned the way it should be. He'd also baby boiled potatoes and peas ready for serving up and the bottle of house white wine was opened. The glasses were ready and there was a pineapple upside down pudding the way his mother made it. He hadn't made the custard but he'd made everything else. This was a British style meal which you wouldn't see often in these parts. So able to take of the apron he went to answer the door. "Everything's ready darling" he said after one last check on Ella. She was cutely dressed and sitting in her high chair; also bigger than she was when he'd first taken her to ARI to see his co-workers. Also cheerful and curious as usual. So opening the door he seen it was Avery. "Hello Avery. Please come in" he added cheerfully. Avery AshfordPeyton Coldstone |

She felt kind of bad that she did not know her boss aside from that was the one woman who she worked with but at least in the setting of the home she did not feel as intimidated and she thought that was a good thing all the time. "Welcome to our home Avery, we hope that you can enjoy yourself tonight." Avery AshfordDavid Lightfeather |

Avery smiled, something that was rare for her as she made her way in. "Hello David and Peyton," she said. Now it was not that Avery was completely against this but out of all of her employees these were the two to think to invite her to do something in their home on the holiday. That was so sweet. "How are you guys?" David LightfeatherPeyton Coldstone |

As David was the one who showed Avery a ground breaking process that was still being used and had made it work he had prior dealings with his boss he couldn’t talk about. He had no direct involvement anymore with it as he was being kept busy by other things. It was good to invite her all the same and give her a break. Ella also noticed there was company as she didn’t miss out on things if she was awake. So happy baby noises follows. “Things are good” he replied to his boss. “Ella loves daycare as well and dinner is something I’d have known from home”. So something British was going to be served up even with his exile from the UK. This island was now his home and he had personal reasons to defend it now. Peyton ColdstoneAvery Ashford |

"I do like the fact that we can bring our daughter in and she is not away from us too far," she said. "We thought it might be nice to just be in company for the holiday and have good food." She was semi big on traditions but she knew that some people were not. "Do you have a drink preference?" Avery AshfordDavid Lightfeather |

"If you have something with a peach or a mango twist that will work perfectly fine for me." Normally she would be against employee and employer dinners and hangout but for the new year she was trying to show a different side of herself and so she knew that meant that you had to at the very least try which was what she was doing. "I think that this is the first time that I have been at someone's house, usually I invite people to my apartment so this is nice." David LightfeatherPeyton Coldstone |

David heard this request and went looking. With the holidays looming fast he'd gotten in a few different options of drinks you could locally obtain. Even if they didn't drink it before they finished it still would be there. He did find in the fridge a bottle of mango juice. Perhaps along with spirits it could work. "How does chilled mango juice and vodka sound?" he suggested. Peyton also appreciate the day care service by the sound of it and Ella certainly liked it. "There's always a first time for everything" he added as Ella chimed in making curious sounding noises. It was just as well she was in a high chair; she'd have been trying to open low cupboard doors if she hadn't. Avery AshfordPeyton Coldstone |

"Well for the most part if you want a truth having company is still new to us but it is good at least I think to have the chance to see how someone is outside of work. I know from a personal standpoint holidays can be hectic so why add to that when we can hopefully help give something to make it easier?" Avery AshfordDavid Lightfeather |

"Oh I think that the two of you do well at your jobs I just don't personally get close to employees. It's not them it's just a cardinal rule of mine and it is not the person though that is hard to explain to someone but I am glad that I could come to your home." David LightfeatherPeyton Coldstone |

David made up the vodka and mango juice and brought the glass to Avery. Dinner was still warm so they could enjoy it after the drinks. He then brought out the bottle of white wine and two glasses for Peyton and himself. They were getting better at having visitors as he said “let me know when you want the food served up. It’s good to relax before the holiday buildup but I suppose business never stops. I knew that from my last job”. Avery AshfordPeyton Coldstone |

"Do you have any upcoming projects that you are able to discuss over dinner?" she asked Avery as she still stayed close to David. She did not know if Avery could talk about it but she had still decided to ask. Avery AshfordDavid Lightfeather |

"I am looking into doing a little research into space. Might need you guys to study some asteroids soon but I am not sure yet other than that not much. I figured it was best to give everyone a little time off for the holidays." David LightfeatherPeyton Coldstone |

So things would calm down over the holidays at least. As well as proper time off which they’d appreciate given it was Ella’s first Christmas and that was a big deal. He did have a question. “Is that looking at asteroids with a telescope or up close in a lab?” he posed. Avery AshfordPeyton Coldstone |
