I slide my arms around Peggy from behind, tucking them about her waist and dropping my head to press a kiss against her cheek. She's been as gracious and outgoing as I've tried to be, and in a moment even kind of alone, in the kitchen while everyone else has found a plate and a drink and a place to sit, I take advantage to get her in my arms, if only for a moment.

"You look great," I murmur.
