Hi everybody! Loving the feedback about Garody's date! Brace yourselves, because it won't be smooth sailing all the way! I'm excited to see what you all think! :) Sorry if Carl seems a bit out of character, this is how I think he would be acting had there not been a zombie apocalypse.

Chapter Seven: Half and Whole
A MONTH LATER
MELODY
"I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place
It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go"
I giggled to myself in the mirror as I finished straightening my hair, singing along to "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. It had been so long since I had heard that song, I even forgot it was in my iTunes library, but I suppose I was just in a bubbly kind of mood, and it was all thanks to a special somebody.
"Melody's got a boyfriend, Melody's got a boyfriend!"
Unfortunately, my day dreaming was interrupted by the annoying chants of Carl barging into my room.
"Shut up! He's not my boyfriend. What are you doing in here anyway?" I turned the straightner off as Carl flopped on my bed. Don't get me wrong, I love the kid, but lately he's become very obnoxious, and I have no idea as to why. Things were going well for him so far at school, he and his best friend Patrick made the baseball team, they weren't getting bullied mercilessly like I was, what was making him act like an imbecile?
"I'm bored, and yes, he is. You've been seeing him every day for over a month."
"Not every day..." It just felt like it was, except I actually hadn't seen Gareth in person in a week, but we talked on FaceTime and Skype while he and Rick were on a five day business trip in Tokyo for their meeting with Mikimoto. He offered to take me with him, but I got called in to work and was hired to do makeup for some parties.
I had been expecting him to cancel our date for the night after our first, but he didn't, validating that it wasn't making plans on a whim and backing out later, which had happened to me so many times before. Ever since our first date, we've been kind of inseparable. We went out to dinner a few more times, to the movies and museums, he even got me to go bungee jumping and sky diving. Sometimes we opted to keep it low key with takeout and Netflix, we both loved Portlandia and Orange is the New Black. Gareth Mandel was nothing like any guy I've ever dated before. Then again, I've never really dated, I've either had boyfriends after hanging out one time or I've had meaningless flings, this was what actual dating was with somebody that I assumed cared about me. Randall couldn't even watch an entire episode of SMASH but Gareth sat through almost three hours of Jersey Boys, he took great interest in the things I like. To me, it was irrelevant that he had more money than he knew what to do with. When I talked, Gareth actually listened to what I had to say. He's sweet and attentive and charismatic, it's refreshing to have an authentic conversation with somebody on the same intelligence level, and he makes me laugh.
This was still so new to me, and I felt unsure of how to embrace it. He held nothing back, I knew pretty much everything there was to know, but I still haven't dived in one hundred percent. I kept getting this feeling like there was something hidden or missing, like I was waiting for a fault to present itself. For example, while we have chemistry in pretty much every aspect, physically it's off the charts, yet he hasn't tried anything on me. Most guys would have been ripping my shirt off or begging me to get into bed with them, but Gareth's hands didn't even travel past my waist or hips, and we've had some pretty steamy make out sessions. On my couch, in the back seat of his car, me straddling him in the front seat, sometimes in public. Is he just really respectful or is he possibly gay? No, he can't be gay, I know he's attracted to me sexually, I've felt it when we're pressed up against each other. Considering my past in regards to sex and the idiots I've been with, I'm not the most sophisticated in bed, but there was something about Gareth that made me want to demolish that wall and simply go wild n' crazy. At the same time, I was also embarrassed thinking that I'd be a huge disappointment in his eyes. Another thing is that he's been to my house plenty of times, but I've never been to his. He likes me, I like him, why am I second-guessing every little thing? Why couldn't I open myself all the way? Everybody around me keeps saying I have to let my guard down, to let him in, that I've been through so much my entire life that I deserve some happiness, but why did I feel like our courtship had an expiration date on it? I was already halfway, but was I afraid of completely falling head over heels in love? While I have told Gareth about what happened to me and my mom, I have yet to tell him about who my father really is or my affair with Shane or kissing Rick, the latter had really been eating away at me. Whenever I saw my sister, my heart would sink knowing how I had ultimately betrayed her, and it took everything in me-whether it be on a walk or watching Once Upon A Time, or even at the dinner table- to not blurt out "I kissed your husband!". It was scaring not knowing if I would ever be forgiven.
The one thing I did know was that despite my doubts and reservations, I had improved. Within the past month, I hadn't been crying as much and began taking better care of myself. I went to Zumba with Maggie and for walks with Lori on a regular basis, I stopped picking my skin and started whitening my teeth, I had lost a few pounds and some of my old clothes were starting to fit again. My moods had changed dramatically as well, I was less cynical and more cheerful. I was starting to look good and feel better, but what's holding me back?
"He is so your boyfriend, Aunt Melody. I've seen you kissing in his car and on the couch, you don't do things like that with somebody that's not your boyfriend."
I rolled my eyes as I tightened the sash on my blue and pink kimono before I put my makeup on. "Ok, fine. He's more than a friend, that's for sure, but he is not my official boyfriend." Gareth and I were obviously more than friends with benefits, we hadn't even slept together yet, but was he my unofficial boyfriend? The thought made me a bit jumpy and excited.
"You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
It's so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream"
When "Hot" by Avril Lavigne started playing from my phone, I could feel my face heating up, knowing I was more or less busted. Carl looked over to see that the text was from Gareth and started laughing. "It's from your not boyfriend. "Hey, gorgeous, I'm at the front door. Can't wait to see your beautiful face." And he put a little heart! Why do you have him in your phone as "Hot Lips"?" For some reason, he found that to be hilarious, and I almost didn't notice he grabbed my phone. "I'm gonna show him this what his caller ID comes up as."
"Carl, put my phone down, now!"
"Melody and Gareth, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Carl ran out of the room guffawing, and I had no choice but to run after him.
"Carl, get back here!"
GARETH
"Hey, Rick. How's it going?" I asked as I stepped inside the Grimes house to pick up Melody. Melody, Melody. Her name alone made me smile, but seeing her beautiful face in person was just unreal. We had gone out pretty much every night since our first date, sometimes during the day, but I hadn't actually seen her since before Rick and I left for Tokyo last week.
After that incredibly sexy kiss, Melody had most definitely come out of her shell more and let her true self shine. In my opinion, the fact that she had some reservations and moments of gaucheness only added to Melody's allure, because she was pretty outgoing most of the time. She appreciated the little things that so many people would overlook, and it was quite refreshing, even though she had a tendency to get a bit pessimistic at times, but who doesn't? Following my relationship with Theresa, I was definitely jaded, but being around Melody I had no inhibitions and opened up more than I thought I was capable of. I just hoped she knew I didn't see her as a rebound in the slightest, because I was genuinely falling for her.
We obviously have a strong connection, but our physical attraction alone was through the roof. Whether we were kissing for five seconds or three hours, I couldn't get enough and I had to do everything in my power not to put my hands underneath her clothes or tear them off all together. Bearing in mind her emotional state, I decided I would wait until she was ready to take things to the next level, I didn't want to pressure Melody. That and despite what my brother thinks, sleeping together prematurely could ruin a blossoming relationship, which my moms agreed with me on. All in all, I had genuinely fallen for Melody, but there was still this plaguing thought in the back of my mind that us meeting was part of the reason why I was getting my raise and promotion. Honestly, I didn't know if I should say anything, because it might just cause me to lose her.
"It's getting pretty serious with you two, huh? I meant to ask you in Tokyo, but we were so swept up with the meetings." Rick seemed like he had something on his mind, but I don't think he was in the mood to talk about it.
"Ha, I know. That's not even the most of it, there's still the presentation next month to finally reel them in, but I know we'll accomplish exactly what we want." Before I could reply to his initial question, all four of the family dogs came trotting up, wagging their tails as their tongues hung out of their mouths. "Hey, guys." They were all cute, but Simba and Butterscotch had really grown on me. I looked over at Rick as I pet them. "To answer your question, yes, they are. I can't thank you enough for setting me up with her, Rick. She's one hell of a girl."
"CARLTON CHANDLER! GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE RIGHT NOW, YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
We looked up to see Carl laughing hysterically as Melody chased him back and forth throughout the second floor, which made the dogs follow suit as well.
"Melody's got a boyfriend, Melody's got a boyfriend! I'm gonna tell him that you still sleep with Pooh Bear."
"Cworal, cut it out!" Rick scolded as the two of them neared the second floor staircase. I was trying not to laugh, it brought me back to the bickering my siblings got into from time to time, but the dogs chasing Carl and Melody were not making things any easier, as they ran back and forth from one wraparound staircase to the other.
"Shut up, you're such a brat, and you still have a night light! Gimme my damn phone- WHOA!" Melody had gotten ahold of Carl, but also lost her footing at the same time, causing them both to fall and tumble down the right staircase, finally landing at the bottom. They were both groaning from the impact of the land, their arms and legs tangled as the dogs circled around them inquisitively.
"Melody, sweetheart, are you ok?"
MELODY
I opened my eyes to see Rick and Gareth upside down staring at me and Carl, feeling my face break out into the biggest smile the moment our eyes met.
"Gareth! Hi!" I scrambled to my feet and jumped in his arms, it was probably a bit forward, but seeing him in person after what felt like forever, I was now overjoyed. It was moments like this where I hated myself for being so indecisive in regards to my feelings.
He laughed as his arms wrapped around my waist, the littlest touch from him made sparks fly. "Hi, Melody, have a little tussling fun I see?"
I pulled back and smiled, just looking at him made my heart melt and butterflies flap wildly in my stomach. When I'm with Gareth, nothing else matters and I'm so in the moment, it's when we're apart where my mind starts wandering, and that's the problem. "Something like that. Carl was being a little brat." I glanced over at my nephew, who was currently getting the stink eye from Rick.
"Carl, you know what you have to do…"
He huffed and shook his head, handing me my phone back. "Alright, fine. I'm sorry, Aunt Melody. I shouldn't have been so immature."
"Just don't do it again, kid. You're too cool to be acting like a doofus, k?"
"Ok."
I jumped off of Gareth and grabbed his hand. "I have to finish getting ready, it won't take much longer. That's cool, right, Rick?"
Rick nodded. "Yeah, it's fine. You're over eighteen and I trust you, Mellie."
"Great, thanks." I smiled as I led Gareth up the stairs, relieved that I was going to be alone with him. Thanks to Carl's mishap, we didn't get to have a welcome back kiss…
GARETH
I looked around Melody's room as she led me inside. Pepto pink walls that were decorated with posters of musicians, films, and a few decals, a neatly made queen sized bed adorned with stuffed animals and had bunny posts on the top, a white dresser and vanity, two curio cabinets filled with DVDS and books, random knickknacks, and three sliding mirror closet doors. It reminded me a little bit of my sister Sophia's room, but it fit Melody's personality overall.
"Sorry about that, Carl can get kind of annoying at times."
"It's ok, boys always do stupid things. Although, I'm glad he's not around, because I didn't get a chance to do this when I first saw you." With an amorous wink, I wrapped my arm around Melody's waist and pulled her in, pressing my lips against hers, and couldn't contain the smile when I heard the slightest sigh escape from her. My hand travelled to her hip as her hands glided up my face and through my hair. It was moments like this that made it difficult not to take things further. All I wanted to do was make sweet, passionate love to Melody, I had been fantasizing about it for a while. How her naked body would feel underneath mine, the sounds of her moaning my name, leading to ultimate climax, but there was still such a fragility to her and I was hoping to eventually break it sooner rather than later. She wasn't always easy to read. Sometimes when we were necking, she'd turn her head, but I think it was more to see what I would do next, because when I'd start kissing her face or neck she would resume the lip lock once again, but I knew that she had a lot of self-doubt. I don't think Melody realized how truly gorgeous she was, I've seen the way guys look at her when we go out, and then the looks they give me like I'm the luckiest guy in the world, which was honestly how I felt. Melody was everything I wanted in a girl, the fact that she was physically beautiful was an added bonus. Her body drove me absolutely insane, and this was the first time I think I've ever been blue balled. Some days, it was so bad I couldn't even walk.
She took it up a notch and grabbed the lapels of my jacket, turning us around and shoving me back on her bed, never breaking the kiss as she straddled me, sending Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty to the floor. Her sudden change up now made it impossible not to do anything, I could feel my pants starting to tighten, and out of pure impulse I squeezed her ass. Surprisingly, she didn't even flinch, rather, she pressed into me further. When Melody started sucking on my tongue, my whole body got pins and needles. I felt like freaking Thumper from Bambi, but my foot wasn't the only thing throbbing. I had to bring this to a halt, because if I didn't, I would end up taking her right then and there. "Honey, aren't you forgetting something?"
"Hmm? What?" Melody asked as she kissed my jawline.
"The party, remember?" We were going to a housewarming/dinner party at her best friend Maggie and Glenn's new home. It was the first time meeting Melody's group of friends, and I was a little nervous. I had already met her mother by accident a couple weeks ago, she was leaving Rick and Lori's when I arrived to pick Melody up, and I insisted she come to dinner with us. Charlotte was a wonderful woman, I really liked her and we got along well, but I knew it was time to introduce Melody to my family as well.
She pulled back and looked down on me. "Oh, yeah. Are you sure you want to go? My Batman movie collection is finally complete, we can have a marathon and pick up where we left off just now." Melody winked and I couldn't help but lean up and kiss her as I pushed her hair back.
"We'll take a rain check on that, I promise. I'm looking forward to meeting your friends. Besides, I have a surprise for you."
Her face lit up as soon as I finished speaking. "A surprise?! Oh, my gosh, what is it?! Tell me, tell me, tell me!" She started shaking my shoulders, which made me laugh.
"Calm down, crazy girl! I'll give it to you as soon as you're done getting ready."
"I am, all I have to do is finish my makeup and put my sandals on. I'll go do that, and you just relax." Melody gave me a quick peck before strolling into her bathroom. "Are you sure you can't give me a little hint? Please, cutie pie?"
"Yes, Melody, I'm sure." I got up and started putting all the stuffed animals back on the bed. "If I told you what it was, it wouldn't be a surprise." As I looked down to pick up the last stuffy, I saw a black leather portfolio folder on the floor under the bed. Curiosity got the best of me as I opened it up and began looking through.
"I suppose you're right. I love surprises, maybe it's why I've never been thrown a surprise party, because I'd want to know every little detail. It's always been one of my dreams, to have a surprise party thrown for me."
As I flipped through the pages of what turned out to be Melody's creative portfolio, I was stunned. There were makeup sheets with elaborate designs ranging from horrifying monsters to regal princesses, which included costumes, along with pictures of the creations she had been able to apply on models as well as what makeup she had done for parties and fashion shows, but that wasn't all that stood out to me. Amongst the drawings and photographs were acceptance letters from different universities. UCLA, Pepperdine, Columbia, Pace, Duke, and LMU, she had gotten into every single one, but why hadn't she gone? I also found a few rough drafts for a romance and a graphic novel, as well as a flyer for RAW Artists, which apparently was an organization that had events showcasing artists, musicians, photographers, fashion designers, etc. Melody was gifted and a brilliant makeup artist and photographer, from what I skimmed through of the rough drafts, she was also a talented writer, why wasn't she doing anything with it?! The world needed to see her exceptional concepts.
"Gareth? Did you hear what I said?"
"Huh? Yeah, I did. I'm sure you'll get a surprise party one day." I scrambled, zipping up the portfolio and shoving it back under her bed before standing up, making a note to myself about how to bring this up with Melody at some point in the future.
"I hope so." She walked out of her bathroom and I knew my mouth was hanging open. Melody had taken off the kimono she was wearing, revealing a white tank top that was straight on one side and was tiered fabric on the other side that went down to her knee, black straight legged pants, and white strappy sandals. Her hair was down and straightened, her makeup was flawless, she looked amazing, bottom line. "Sorry I got a little carried away earlier, shoving you on my bed. I really missed you." She gazed down, smiling. I noticed that from time to time she couldn't give me eye contact, which was one of her little quirks, but it was cute. I walked over, lifting her chin up so her eyes could meet mine, and smiled.
"That's ok, I actually liked it and I can't wait to pick it up with you again. You look incredible, Melody, but I think I know what will really make it perfect." I pulled a box out of the inside pocket of my jacket and handed it to her, watching with trepidation as she opened it. "I saw this when we were leaving Mikimoto and it reminded me of you. It matches your eyes." It had been a while since I bought jewelry for a woman, and this was the first real gift I had gotten for Melody, I wanted it to be perfect.
MELODY
Inside the box was a solitaire black Tahitian cultured pearl pendant accentuated with diamonds on the white gold wraparound connecting to the white gold chain. Gareth was right, it definitely matched the green grey color of my eyes, which were wanting to tear up at the moment. This was not only one of the most beautiful gifts a man had ever given me, but the sentiment itself was one of the greatest I had ever received. "Wow, it's so beautiful! Put it on me?" I turned around and stood in front of my closet as I handed him the box and lifted my hair up. "I love it, thank you thank you so much, Gareth. I feel kind of bad, I don't really have anything for you."
He chuckled. "You don't have to get me anything, it was my pleasure, and I get the gift of spending time with you, which is all I could ask for." I watched him smile at me in the mirror, and I couldn't help but think that we actually made a pretty great looking couple. "It really does look spectacular on you. Ready to go?"
"Mmhmm. By the way, I am really loving your jacket." Gareth was wearing this awesome black leather motorcycle jacket that had a white stripe on the shoulders and a green stripe going down either side.
"Thanks, I found it when I took Sophia consignment shopping, it was sort of a needle in a haystack."
"It's sexy, very 80's, but you're rocking it." Just looking at Gareth's jacket made me want to take it off, along with the rest of his clothes. That intimacy on my bed got me hot and bothered, but I felt like we should talk before progressing any further.
LORI
"Rick? Carl? I'm ready, let's go! What was all that commotion I was hearing earlier?" I walked out of my room and down the stairs to see Melody and Gareth in the foyer. He had his arms wrapped around her waist from behind as she was texting, and when she was done she turned around and gave him a quick smooch. The sight of the two of them made me smile, and while I know Melody was still on the fence about letting her guard down, I also know that she already had a special place in her heart for Gareth. "Hi, Gareth! Melody, you look beautiful."
"Hi, Lori. Wow, pregnancy really suits you, you're glowing." Rick had recently announced to the company that I was expecting, but even if he hadn't, I'm sure Melody would have filled Gareth in.
"Thanks, I think so too." My pregnancy now was much easier than it had been with Carl, which was odd considering my age. The morning sickness had passed, my blood pressure was fine, everything was smooth sailing, but it did make me a bit apprehensive for my delivery date.
"How's my little niece doing in there?" Melody walked over and bent down, putting her hands on my stomach. "Hi, little one. I'm your Auntie Melody, and I'm so excited to meet you! When you're older, we're gonna go shopping and have spa days and when Mommy and Daddy aren't around I'm going to let you watch Breaking Bad." Gareth and I both laughed over that last bit. Like I predicted, the gender was a girl, and Rick and I couldn't be happier, but Melody was the most excited out of all of us. She was so cute picking out colors and patterns for the nursery, along with planning the baby shower. I was so thrilled with how she had come along in the past month, especially since that first date. It was like meeting Gareth had been the step in the right direction that she needed to get things back on track.
"I don't think she'll be watching Breaking Bad anytime soon."
"Ready to go?" Rick strolled in with Carl.
"Are you sure you guys can't come to the party with us?" Melody asked.
"I'm sorry, sweetie, but we can't miss Back to School Night." The sight of the necklace she was wearing caught my eye. Smiling widely, I leaned in and whispered to her. "That necklace is gorgeous! I can only imagine what your engagement ring will look like!"
Melody pulled back and rolled her eyes. "Lori! You're such a dreamer." She winked before giving me a hug. "Have fun and behave, Carl!"
"Bye, Melo, give our love to Gleggie and the rest!"
"I will, I promise." Melody grabbed Gareth's hand and strolled out the door.
"Bye!"
It felt like it had been forever since she had smiled the way she did with Gareth, and I hoped that it wouldn't be ending any time soon.
MELODY
"Are you ready? I'm warning you now, my friends are a very eclectic bunch." Gareth had just pulled up to Glenn and Maggie's, I had to give one final warning before sending him into battle.
"Yes, I am. Relax, sugar, everything will be fine." He squeezed my hand, and I could feel myself easing up. As usual, I was over analyzing and fretting, I can never let up, and I had to fix that.
"Alright, alright, let's go in then. I know that they'll love you." I took a deep breath as he got out of the car, walking around to open my door.
"Well, if they're anything like you, I'm sure I'll love them as well."
Wait, was he just implying he's in love with me?
"MEL-O-DEEE!" I was barely out of the car for a minute before Stefon sprinted forward and lifted me off the ground, spinning us around.
"Yeee! Stef-on!" I laughed as he kept twirling, thankful that I wasn't holding the chocolate chip cheesecake I made from scratch or the housewarming gift I got for Glenn and Maggie, because they would have gone flying everywhere.
Upon first meeting Stefon at Cinema Makeup School in our Fashion Makeup class, I was immediately drawn to his flamboyance and larger than life personality, he was also a total sweetheart. Stefon's real name was actually Donald Jones, but he changed it to Stefon not only to sound more refined, but because of his love for Bill Hader's character of the same name on Saturday Night Live. The two had a lot of similarities, from their demeanors and wardrobe consisting of Ed Hardy shirts and multiple rings down to the asymmetrical frost tipped haircut, but my Stefon dressed like a crossover between Mork and Lady Gaga. Tonight, for example, he was wearing elevator shoes with straight leg jeans, rainbow suspenders, a green and white blazer, oversized sunglasses, and a top hat. To most people, Stefon was nothing but a joke, but to those that truly cared, he was a shining star.
"Stefon, calm yourself." Aaron said. Stefon was in a polyamourous relationship with a gay couple in their 30's, Aaron was a college sports recruiter for CSUN and Eric was an exotic animal trainer for the L.A. Zoo. The concept of the relationship was both strange and fascinating, but it seemed to work.
"Hi, guys! Babe, what are you wearing?!" I asked as I walked over to greet Aaron and Eric.
"A Stefonic creation, cupcake." Stefon glanced over my shoulder and his face lit up the second he saw Gareth. "Is that him?" He whispered, but before I could answer, he threw his shoulders back, stuck his chest out, and strutted over with his hand on his hip in full Stefon mode. "Gareth, darling! It's such a delight to finally meet the hottie patottie that's slapped a smile on my best friend's face from here to New York City!" Aaron, Eric and I couldn't help but snicker as Stefon laid two huge lipstick kisses on Gareth's cheeks. Surprisingly, Gareth took it well.
"Well, she's put the same smile on my face, also. It's nice to finally meet you, Stefon, I've heard a lot of wonderful things."
"Looks, bod, great car, and manners. I can tell I'm going to like you." Stefon nodded as he linked his arm through mine, leaving the guys alone to introduce themselves. "Boo boo, he is so yummy! Oh, my gosh, how have you not jumped his bones already or kissed every square inch of that sexy jaw?! One look at him and I went into early menopause, because he just gave me a hot flash!." He fanned himself as I laughed and playfully smacked his arm before grabbing my stuff out of the car.
"You're such a scoundrel, Stef! It'll happen when it happens, but it may be sooner rather than later. Things have been going really well, and I don't want to jinx it by jumping into bed with him, except at the same time my attraction for him keeps getting higher and higher." This was becoming an "issue" for me or less, even more so because I had no idea what Gareth thought, the topic of sleeping together hadn't really come up. My desires were only going to grow, so I had to make it a point to bring up the topic with him somehow, I just hope he wouldn't think I was too ridiculous. Gareth would be my first sexual encounter since the nightmare known as Shane, so I was naturally apprehensive.
"If you don't, I will! Hop to it, bun buns!" Stefon lightly smacked me on the butt before turning around to grab Aaron and Eric as I walked up to Gareth, licking my thumb and wiping off the magenta lipstick stains.
"So, what do you think so far? Are you ready to run for the hills?"
"Ha, not even close. Stefon's hilarious and his boyfriends are friendly. I don't know how he does it, a polyamorous relationship, I'm a one woman kind of man."
"That's great to know, especially since he wants to make you his third boyfriend."
He rolled his eyes and smirked. "He wouldn't be the first, babe. You should have seen all the guys that would hit on me back in San Francisco, but I'm used to it. I have two moms remember? Nothing shocks me." I loved how open minded he was, it was refreshing and I hoped it would rub off on me. Smiling up at him, I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze before leading the way up the steps. My friends hadn't really approved of Randall, looking back now I don't blame them. With that being said, it didn't make me any less anxious, but I also had a feeling that there was nothing to worry about, because I knew they'd love Gareth, just as I may have...
"Come on, let's see how you do with the rest of the troops."
