[QUOTE="Keia, post: 1491811, member: 98"] The Centurian, Parkside, Coast City April 16 17:58 Steven Faturius spent most of the time after his lunch with Maggie working on the particulars of his speech. He reviewed the outlines of the other speakers and found some points that he could make that would accentuate their speeches. He went to a benefit that evening, but retired early, declining several opportunities to party late into the night. Steven wasn’t much of a partier . . . at least at the Coast City club scene. The bad possibilities far outweighed the good possibilities during late night activities – especially for celebrities and near-celebrities like himself. The following day, Steven worked on his outline for his book and had one phone interview . . . a quiet day for him. He had thoughts of perhaps flying over the city tonite as Professor Fate – though that depended on how the speaking engagement went. These thoughts occupied him until reaching the limo and looking inside . . . then all thoughts disappeared from his mind. “Stunned by your beauty, Maggie . . . left me speechless . . . not good considering where we're going tonight,” Steven said as he entered the limo, sitting next to her. He looked at the gown, then at his tux with his red bow tie . . . they had matched. Steven smiled, he hadn’t thought of bringing a date to the speech since it was such short notice . . . and he [I]had [/I] worried about it becoming too stuffy. “No fear of the evening going slowly with you there, Maggie,” Steven said, still smiling, “I’m glad you were able to be here tonight.” He spent the next few minutes in small talk, complimenting her hair and gown – as well as talking over what he had planned to say at the engagement. He wanted her input. Steven could handle large engagements with a diverse group. This was different, and he wanted to be well prepared for anything. [/QUOTE]
