Along with spotting the fliers in the laundry room and the elevator, Bruce had gotten a personal invite from Allison by the mailbox, along with an invite extended to Kenzi with a knowing smile that made him blush in spite of himself. They were nowhere near graduating to the point of doing anything yet...but clearly Allison didn't know that.

He felt pretty safe bringing over a rice pilaf, one Allison greeted with enthusiasm when he arrived at the party. Unsure if Kenzi was going to share credit for his contribution or bring something of her own, he'd wandered over solo, and after accepting an offer of a glass of some pretty fantastic brandy Allison credited Porthos and Aramis with bringing, he'd found himself a comfortable spot off to one side, admiring a decorative pair of sais Allison had adorning one wall of her living room.
