Meg's, it's her secretary

"Shit. Sorry Veevee, gotta take this," Meg apologized when she saw the caller ID.

"No problem, Meg," Veevee assured her.

Meg smiled, mouthing "thank you", before moving into the kitchen to talk.

"Mom's been getting a lot of calls like that," Victor said, supplying some context. "Getting furniture moved in, making sure all her new employees are going to be there come opening day, and making sure all the papers she had in her old office are being delivered."

"Sounds hectic," Veevee said sympathetically.

"It has been, but it's finally settling down. I tell you, just being back home is doing wonders for Mom. Haven't seen her this happy in a long time. She's really missed you guys."

"I'm glad. We've missed her too. What about you, Vic? Do you remember much about living here as a kid?" Veevee inquired.

"Not a lot," he admitted. "I remember playing with Lil on the beach one year."

"Oh dear, was that when Gary accidentally tripped and fell on your sandcastle?"

"Oh man, that's right!" he started laughing. "We were so mad!"

"Yeah, but you all hugged it out afterwards," Veevee said, smiling at the memory.

He nods, a nostalgic smile on his face. "How are they? I've only really talked to them on Facebook a couple times."

"Good for the most part. You can ask them yourself. I'm sure they'd love to see you," Veevee encouraged.

"I'd like that." He then smiled a little broader at Veevee. "It's really nice to see you, too. You're as beautiful as I remember. Maybe more."

Veevee fought the impulse to blush, though she knew her ears had to have reddened. Being called beautiful by this gorgeous hunk of a man-no! Bad Veevee!

Meg suddenly came back into the room, an irritated expression on her face. "Sorry, Veevee, but I have to head down to the office. Some of the moving people are giving my secretary a hard time about expenses."

"It's okay, Meg," Veevee assured.

"You want me to come along, Mom?" Victor asked, concerned.

"No hon, it's nothing like that. Just trying to get more money than what we agreed on. besides, Veevee shouldn't have driven down here for nothing. Why don't you keep her company until I get back," Meg suggested.

Oh good lord, Veevee thought.

"Sure, mom, no problem," Victor said. a slight twinkle in his eye. He looked over at Veevee. "I gotta grab a shower, but I'd love to see how the old stomping grounds has changed."

"S-sure, I'd love to show you around." She tried not to think about what else she's like to show him.

"Sounds like a plan." Meg gave Veevee a quick hug. "I promise to make this up to you. We WILL have a proper get-together."

Veevee hugged her back. "I'll hold you to that."

Meg said a quick goodbye before heading out. Before Veevee could collect her thoughts she heard the shower running.

Oh God..he's either naked or about to get naked, she thought. The voyeuristic urge to and go try to peek was rising.
