Kama stood rather dumbfounded by the information he had just received from his sister's friend. His shocked expression played along well into the idea that Renton had said something scandalous. He waved rather lamely to the trio as they walked off towards the living room. Where the gifts and more comfortable seating arrangements were settled. He heard his sister laugh and agree to let the brunette open at least one of the bigger presents in her stead, despite Owen's protests.
Victoria was single. Kama didn't entirely know what to do with this information.
Was it inappropriate for him to be interested in her? Albeit, at present that attraction was physical. Did that make it worse? She had been so young when they'd met. Did he even know how old she was now? Would she even remember him?
Kama couldn't decide if he was over-complicating the situation.
But Owen had seemed to want to imply that Victoria was unobtainable. Should he respect what seemed to be a demand for distance?
The doctor's thoughts distracted him as he moved aimless towards the kitchen. He ladeled himself another glass of punch, following his original intention and sipped at it. The last time he had been in the kitchen, his sister had turned the nook into an impromptu study. Crystal jars holding all her pens and inks lining one end of the table. They had been removed to make room for a selection of appetizers. Kama popped one of the tasty looking canapes into his mouth and decided to venture out on the back porch.
He walked to the railing and surveyed the expanse of the yard. It was a very nice house. Not something he would have imagined for a bachelor of Owen's age when he'd purchased the house, but now he planned to put it to use with a child on the way.
Taking a sip of his drink he noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned his attention to newly added porch swing. Only to see that it was Victoria. He nearly choked on the alcohol in his surprise. How long had she been sitting there watching him brood to the empty lawn.
"Hey," he greeted, but didn't move closer. He felt frozen in place. "Victoria? Right?"

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
