Jasmine shook her head. "No...I meant." She sighed. "What if this party is wrong?" She asked.

He pulls an arm out from behind him, showing her a bottle of 1887 Zinfandel. "I was going to present this to your parents."

Jasmine smiled. "They'll like it." She said. "I'm just...I think i'm getting cold feet."

He raised his eyebrows, snapping his fingers. A tongue of hellfire leaped up between them. "I could help with that."

((LOL thought it would be funny))
Jasmine looked at him and shook her head. "It isn't that." She said. Her eyes looked out to the patio door. "We'll go and dance. My parents would announce our engagement. It'll all be fine. No one will judge us.."
Ani looked at them. "You know maybe she needs demoned up to get some confidence. After all, these people are snotty rich people."

Micah grinned. "I'll be just a moment. No demonizing." Staying in view of her, he walked out and presented the ancient bottle to her parents, then turned and beckoned to Jasmine.

Christoph Reynolds smiled when he received the bottle from Micah. "Thankyou Micah." He said with a smile. "I knew Jasmine told you I was a collector of wines." He then looked up to where he knew his daughter was.
Jasmine didn't walk out when he beckoned. She felt Ani give her a push and she walked out. She looked around and a few people gave a polite clap for her entrance.

A wing, invisible to all but her, gently pulled her toward him. "Actually, she never mentioned it." He took a couple steps to meet her.

He tilted his head and looked at his daughter. He gave a small nod. "Well she did tell me about your engagement. And I am happy to give my blessing."
Jasmine smiled when she heard her father say that too him. Her eyes fell on her mother who still had that 'superior' look on her face. She knew that Pandora Wallace-Reynolds (her mother) was sizing the man she loved up. Her hand touched Micah's hand and snuggled her head against his chest.
((Imagine Pandora to be a bit like Rose's Mom from Titanic))

What she saw probably put a serious dent in her superiority. Where Jacks first impression had been of a poor boy, Micah's was a rich gentleman. Where Jack cleaned up nicely, Micah looked like he was dressing down. Then there was the wine, which Micah knew was the single most expensive bottle on the face of the planet. Micah had arrived in an armored Lincoln Town Car stretch limo, with a man in Israeli Special Forces dress uniform riding shotgun. It was this man who stared down the greeter before opening the door.
Micah turned to Pandora, bowing with a "Madam.", then embraced Jasmine, gliding into a gentle waltz.

Christoph took his wife's waist and guided her to their seats. "Calm down. He is a good man and you know it." He whispered.
Pandora looked at her husband. "I know. Unfortunately she is my daughter. She is young, and I worry if she's making a horrible mistake." She whispered.
Jasmine could feel a little annoyance at her mother come off Micah. "No one would be good enough for me in her eyes." She said. "It isn't that she hates you, because she doesn't. She just doesn't know you like I do. She isn't a snob...she's..." She looked down and sighed.

He raised his eyebrows. "What?"
Lieutenant Goldberg jogged up to Micah. "Call from..." Micah glanced at the phone. "Refer it to department heads." "Yes, sir." He held up another phone. "And the British prime minister." Micah smiled, knowing Pandora heard that one. "Avery is in country, refer to him."

"I think you have these guys do this just to piss my mother and her bridge club off more." Jasmine said with a slight smile that she knew her mother wouldn't see. "She just wants what every mother wants. What's best for her child. I'm certain that if your mother were alive and here she'd be overly critical with me." She carefully got up a bit on her toes as they danced and kissed his cheek. "Besides. She can't fathom someone as being as perfect as you, so she's trying to find a flaw."

He chuckled. "That'll be the day. I just blew off the prime minister, a very lucrative contract, for you. And wait till they uncork that bottle."
Goldberg walked away, talking to the prime minister.

"You should go talk to him. Get that contract." Jasmine said softly. "Don't sacrifice something like that for me." Her eyes went to his chest, feeling like a horrible fiancé.
