You must be Zoe.

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

Oh. *Blushes a little* I'm sorry, I was just...oh um, yes.

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Don't apologize, I'm sorry to intrude like this, but I felt we should meet.

I'm Pepper... Larry's wife.

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yes, of course, I'm sorry for being rude there.

I've heard quite a bit about you. *Offers a hand* I'm Zoe, which...you knew. *Another blush*

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

*shakes hand and laughs* Have you? All horrible things, I'm sure.

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

What? *Startled, then shakes her head* No, all good things. I have to admit, was a little surprised when Larry told me he was married.

You're surprised? Imagine how I was when I woke up and was married.

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

I can imagine that it was a little more than startling.

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Just a tad bit.

I'm okay with it now though, I mean, I could've done worse.

Larry's an amazing man.

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

*Genuine smile*

Larry is the best man I know, he's been a very good friend to me over the last while.

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

He's been a very good friend to me.

For what it's worth, Zoe, I do love him.

It may not be an epic love, or whatever, but it's there.

Re: locked

*Smiles a little*

I don't have a problem with it, I was just surprised because....just because.

He's a good man though, he deserves to be happy. In any sort of way.

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

He does deserve to be happy.

And look at it this way: he won't ever have any problems with financing his bar anymore. He married a very wealthy woman...

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

So is this a marriage that...you're going to try now?

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Well..for six months at least.

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

How come for six months?

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

That's how long we have to wait until we can re-apply for an annulment or a divorce.

Probably doesn't help that we consummate like bunnies though..

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know they did that.

*Goes absolutely beet red*

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

They do now. They're not happy with people going to Vegas and getting drunk and married. There are consequences to one's actions. I felt like I was 5, sitting in the judge's chambers.

Hee! TMI?

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

I guess after it happens one too many time, they might want to start cracking down on it.

Oh...I...no..I mean. *RED*

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Apparently so.

Which is fine. I mean, I don't mind it. We're not going to live together or anything so really doesn't matter how long.

Then I guess you don't want to hear about that thing he does.. with his tongue.. and yeah...

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

So you're going to continue living wherever...you live. I'm sorry, I don't think he told me where you're from.

No! It's fine, Larry is a good friend and I don't need those images!

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

I'm originally from NYC but I'm in DC right now.. I guess he hasn't told you who I am really either, huh?

You're fun!

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

He's only told me a couple of things, we've both been really busy. I run a flower shop here.

Uh..thank you? *blushes*

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

I'm Pepper Potts. I used to run Stark Industries in NYC. Right now, I'm the personal assistant for Senator Robert Kelly out in DC but when that's done, I'll go back to being Chief Operating Officer of SI. I like to be busy.

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I think I've heard of Stark Industries in a couple of places. It certainly sounds like you do. So what does the Chief Operating Officer do?

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Everything and anything. I'm basically Tony Stark when I'm at work. I collect all the information and make minor decisions. Anything big, I talk to Tony.

Re: locked

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a lot of fun. What does Stark Industries do?

Re: locked

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

*laughs* What don't we do? If it has technology, we have it or Tony's invented it.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
