Stefan smiled warmly. "Well, that is good. Though," He shifted, turning his hand to hold hers and sipping his wine. "While you may not be here because I am a rich man, I am still a rich man. You're alright with it all?" He asked. "The galas, the charity events, the socialite dinners. My world...

Stefan smiled and leant in, stealing a slow, sweet kiss. He kept close to her after, laying an arm along the railing and sipping his champagne with the other. "How's it feel to be dating a rich man?" He teased her with a playful wink.

Stefan sipped on his drink, smiling warmly at her. "You know I am," He offered easily. "It's a beautiful day, with a beautiful woman," He leant in a bit, giving her a warm smile. "Could I have a kiss?" He asked, as he always did, not wanting to push past her boundaries.

It had been a minute since Stefan had gone out like this without his kids in tow. He certainly took them on vacations often enough, but this... this was just for him. He walked up on deck with Sarah, admiring her beauty as he stepped up beside her and offered her one of the glasses of champagne...

Stefan chuckled. "Come on, you two. Go gather your friends and then we'll head home." He prompted, moving towards the door. "I'm going to take a look around and see if I could find Mr. Archer," He told them with a small smile. "Perhaps we can bring the whole family along," The man straightened...

Stefan was pleased that the children seemed to agree so quickly. He smiled, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. "Sounds like a plan, then. Valerius, feel free to bring a friend. Blair," He turned to his daughter. "I think its about time you invited Branson along, don't you think?" He...

Stefan chuckled, letting his children interact. "Now, Blair, don't push him too much," He teased his daughter, rubbing her shoulder gently. "Are you sure your hometown is such a good idea?" He asked her. "You aren't concerned we'll run into your mother?" He murmured gently, fretting a bit.

Stefan chuckled as the girl hugged her brother, straightening out his jacket sleeves. "How does what feel?" He asked, looking between his two children. "Seeing my little girl all grown up? It's certainly a bit disconcerting," He chuckled. "What do you say we take a family trip?" He asked the...

Stefan stood as the ceremony ended, adjusting his suit jacket before making his way away from the seating. Valerius stood with him, and Stefan had his hand on his sons mid back gently. "I'm proud of you both," he murmured to his son, before turning to the girl- no, the woman that approached him...

Stefan couldn't believe it. Blair was graduating. It felt like only yesterday that she'd found her way into his offices, and her mother had kicked her out. He took his seat, happy when Valerius joined him. He laid his arm over the back of his sons chair, feeling content. He clapped politely for...

Stefan chuckled. "Appearance is vital, Blaire. You never know who is watching." He replied easily. He lead her easily, walking her down the old stone streets. "I won a scholarship," He explained. "Of all my options, New Zealand was the best." He replied easily. "And I wished for a fresh start."...

Stefan always worried about Blair. He wanted to be there for his daughter, to provide for her like he had for Valerius. He just didn't know what she wanted, or what she needed. Still, he tried. Blair was a confident, beautiful young woman. When she asked him about his heritage, he took her and...

Stefan's phone call was hardly pleasant, something urgent having come up at the company that required his personal attention. After too much time arguing, he finally resigned himself to the unwelcomed interruption and ended the call, walking back to Sarah. He sat with her, giving her a mournful...

Stefan smiled lightly. He was glad he seemed to be having a positive impact. He leaned in, covering the hand he held with his other one. "Sarah, darling, would it be too early to say I'm smitten?" He asked, reaching up with the intent to brush his thumb over her cheek. He opened his mouth to say...

Stefan chuckled. "It's exquisite, thank you," He sipped his coffee. He wasn't sure if this coffee was even any good, honestly, but sitting there with her, it was the best he'd had. He chuckled again and pressed another kiss to her knuckles. "Sarah, darling, I don't think you realize how...

Stefan actually blushed. He blushed. He laughed and cleared his throat. "Ah, my dear, you are precious." He brought her hand up and pressed a kiss to her knuckles. "Are you enjoying your coffee?" He asked, crossing his legs the other way and giving her a charming smile. "I love what you've done...

Stefan chuckled, sipping his coffee. "Sorry, sorry. I'm often speaking to the public, I might have overshared a bit," He gave her a fond smile. "I love that my children are what you picked up on. Blair is the eldest. Blair is fiery, she plays on her school team and is currently infatuated with...

Stefan kept note of everything Sarah was saying. Wellington, middle of three, brothers. Boarding school and Uni, on to be a preschool teacher. Green, fish and chips. Loved teaching and kids. He soaked up every piece of information she fed him, smiling as she asked about him. He smiled, his...

Stefan chuckled. Sarah was precious. He settled in, keeping her hand firmly in his. Somehow he felt like she would need the constant reassurance he was serious. "Everything," He told her immediately. "I want to know all about you. Your family, your hometown, where you grew up, where you went to...

Stefan chuckled at the womans statement. "Sarah, you darling woman, I'm asking you on a date. As a couple. I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to go," He reached over to boop her nose. She was really an adorable thing. He waved over a barista, placing an order for a summer latte and listening as...
