ELENA
Damian laughs amusingly. I'm glad he liked his surprise party, in the morning I called his parents. Mrs. Eleanor was very excited about Damian's appointment. I know he hadn't told them; he's not very close to them, but maybe if they get a little closer, they can make up for lost time.
Let's toast - says Mrs. Eleanor, and we all look at her.
I toast to you, son. Because I know you will go further than you already have. And I also want to toast to Elena - she says and asks for my hand. I give it to her, and she looks at me fondly.
Thank you, Elena. Thank you so much for being with my son. I know he will be very happy with you - she says, and it makes me want to cry. She hugs me, and I hug her back. I glance at Damian, his eyes filled with fondness as he watches us. I would love for
