i knew you'd get around to it, Nan. no worries.

the tea party was an out of the blue thing. i just had this image of Aedan saying "I don't drink tea." and Christophe turning to her to say "You do today." and then the rest of it kind of sprang up around that. i suspect you're right in that Aedan won't listen. but someone has to try, right? cos she sure as hell isn't listening to anyone else at this time.

glad you liked it, hon, and thanks for reading! <3
