Michael was pacing about the apartment trying to decide whether everything was ready. By the Christmas tree were two neat stacks of presents ready to be summoned away, one with presents for Iden's family and one with presents for Michael's family. On the hob were several dishes keeping warm until brunch at Iden's mum's house. In the refrigerator were several more dishes keeping cool until dinner at Michael's parents' house.

"Iden, are you ready to go?" Michael called from the kitchen.

"Yes, of course you do," Michael said, taking Iden's hand and tugging him toward the door.

Michael's parents lived in a respectable looking house, not too big, not too small. It looked a lot like the other houses on the block and the block after that, etc. They lived in a residential area in the London area.

Michael knocked and then let himself in without waiting. "Mum, we're here," he said.

A tall, thin, middle-aged woman in an apron came around the corner. "Oh, just on time, dear. Come in, come in, take off your robes," she said.

Michael hugged and kissed his mother. "Hi, mum. You remember Iden."

"Yes, of course, nice to see you again," she said, smiling politely and offering Iden her hand.
