Edward nervously bided his time for the lunch break and then did his best to thread through the throngs of hangers-on and sycophants to approach Tatiana. Gillian caught sight and interceded, “Okay, move people. Security needs to brief the client.” It seemed obvious to Edward from Gillian’s grin that ‘security’ wasn’t exactly the point of the discussion.

“Um, you have time to talk?” asked Edward nervously.

“Sure!” responded Tatiana all aglow. Suddenly she soaked in Edward’s nervous state and became nervous herself, “Oh crap! I saw you talking with Zoë earlier; she didn’t dump you did she?”

Edward was taken aback, “Huh? Oh, no! Nothing like that!”

Tatiana relaxed visibly, “Good, good! Made me nervous there! So what is on your mind?”

“Um, I’m trying to figure out what is going on with us. As in all three of us. Back in the Highlands this would be no big deal…”

“But we aren’t in the Highlands,” finished Tatiana with a laugh. She stared at the ceiling and thought a bit, “Every boyfriend I’ve ever had has ended up cheating on me. I’ve never been dumped, just cheated on.”

Edward was more than a little confused, “So this is sort of cheating to start with?”

Tatiana grinned, “I was curious if that was what I was doing, just picking out who was cheating with whom to save me the trouble and embarrassment from finding out later. Nope. I wasn’t setting myself up for failure. I’m just more comfortable with both of you around. You are more than a little intense as a person. I’m not sure I’m strong enough on my own. Heaven knows I’d like to, but as much as I’d love to be with you, Zoë needs to be with you. Her family is dysfunctional at best, she has to fight at every corner to stand on her own, and she busts her furry tail just as much to care for her brother as her family won’t. She could really use a strong person like you. Someone with a strong sense of family. My problem is, I’m too much of a diva to hand you over; I want you too!”

Edward stared square into Tatiana’s eyes. “Less than an hour ago, I got to hear that exact same speech just worded the other way around. But she didn’t use the word ‘diva’.”

Tatiana giggled and stared at her toes as she wiggled them like a school girl, “Yeah, well, I guess my own family isn’t sunshine and roses either. The short of it is, I don’t know what to do. I like the current arrangement and am loathe to change it.”

Edward smiled, “That makes three of us. But that is just putting off difficult questions.”

“Like questions about families and things. And who moves where… The little Gruaer kid, Moira, her parents move back and forth from the Highlands all the time…” Tatiana wrinkled her nose, “No. On second thought, I think that is just dodging the question.” Tatiana shrugged, “I don’t know what to do, but I have an idea.
