Jephthah saw Nadia and smiled. "Don't worry about it." Laughing, he added, "Mr. Whiskers must be one crazy cat." Glancing over at Stella, he ordered his usual pecan pie and mango pineapple smoothie. Once Nadia ordered what she wanted, Jephthah made some small chatter on a possible camping trip for the two of them and their families. He has already been looking reserving a spot in the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. He mentioned that the nearby Ocoee River at the camp he had in mind was where an Olympic Whitewater Rafting event took place, once. there was plenty more stuff to do there, also. He asked if Nadia was up for something like that.

Abdas heard the orders and got right onto making them. While he made everything else and worked on the smoothie, he left a plate of pound cake and a glass of apple juice for Stella, a note to go with it. It read:

I had this ready for you, Stella. Not one for words, so... here you go.
