Hmmm well its still early days, so the romance could still be fourishing- or it could be one of those (suddenly they're banging in the storagecloset and howd they get there?) Dive right in romances. Either way that's your call as they are your characters, but I'm game for it! And yeah, Viva's got the good doctor in her good book so their friendship will have progressed as par for the course. As a funny anicdote, you could have Loire mention that it took like until the next day before Viva asked for his name... i still don't think she's gotten his yet. LOL
