"THAT sounds like a great idea," Lauren said, his enthusiasm obvious.
"I think so as well," Snow agreed with a nod.
Kiran, however, looked hesitant. "Are you sure? I mean, I know you're all busy, and I don't want to take up your time—"
"Stop. Don't overthink it," Astrid interrupted. "A housewarming party is not taking up our time."
"Exactly," Lauren chimed in. "Besides, it's not every day one gets a place of their own for the first time. We're celebrating you, Kiran. Let us."
Kiran hesitated for a moment longer, then finally nodded, a small smile breaking crossing his lips. "Okay, fine. But only if you're sure."
"We're sure," Snow said simply.
They quickly pulled up their schedules on their Terminals, comparing dates and times until they found a day that worked for everyone. After some back-and-forth, they settled on a date two weeks from now.
