Frida could feel her face become red. What was going on? How long had she really been away? Had she been trapped in some sort of parallel dimension? Was this just a dream? Perhaps Frida would wake up and realize that everything was as it should be. With her at home taking care of her family...able to sleep a decent number of hours each night.
'No...he's fibbing. Fibbing or the two of them decided to ditch me.' Maybe they thought Frida would take Adela to the wedding too? Did they neglect to inform an old friend because they were worried Frida's child would be a nuisance?
For a brief moment, Frida had actually considered that Gavin and Tasha might be one of those 'hip' couples who decided not to wear wedding bands.

"Nah...just kidding, there was no wedding..."

'Ah. Of course.' *WHACK!* Frida smacked Gavin on his left shoulder with a thick pile of folders as though the man were a venomous insect. She scowled at him and said quietly, "That wasn't funny, Gavin. Don't scare me like that." It had been a while since that Slytherin side of her had come out...she'd feel guilty about it later.
Frida's skin started to cool down, though her cheeks were still a little blotched from the sudden rush of blood. She casually brushed something away from underneath her left eye.
'New title?' Frida raised a brow at this statement, "Oh I did, did I?" Apparently, she wasn't buying it.
She looked down at her briefcase and tilted her head. Several small notepads soared out and landed neatly in the second to the top cabinet of Frida's desk. 'Didn't Emmy mention something about work?'
Gavin watched quietly as Frida seemed to try to work out what he was saying while setting up her desk for work once more. He had to admit it was her change in expression as well as his nervousness at lying to her that had gotten him to give up but he obviously hadn't stopped fast enough judging by the hand heading his way to smack his arm teasingly.

"Sorry..." he appologized rubbing his arm as if it actually hurt. "But you have to know its not like we could have the wedding without you Frida...even if we decided to elope, you'd still be asked as a witness," the reminscator remarked truthfully in an attempt to get back on her good side.

"Yep, the department's liaison to head office...though that would imply we ever need to get together," Gavin said with a shrug. "Not that much is known about it even by Iridesca. Just know it means chance run-ins with our interim minister and the occasional reason to be upstairs to visit my better half."

His attention turned back to Emmy as she reminded them of the task at hand. "yes...yes, we're supposed to be thinking within each division of creative ways to make things more productive in the department, Gavin confirmed and tried on filling Frida in on things. "Any ideas so far?"he asked the newer woman since his mind was blank at the moment.
