Jason Cullen has commented on Hannah's wall: Heyyyy Schwartz, loving the profile pic, you cutie you! Also, I cannot believe you managed to get me and Juliet that close with a smile on her face. Stupid girl still denying she likes me, eeesh look at that huge smile for being in the presence of, let's face it, two kick-ass lawyers. Anyways, side note: drinks, Saturday, you in? Couple of the guys and girls from the firm are going out for a few, so you up for it? I promise we won't venture into karaoke pubs again... my eardrums still haven't forgiven me for Josh's drunken rendition of Like a Virgin. Never again.

Hannah has replied to Jason: Perhaps Jules likes you better when I'm around, because I force you to be a decent human being? ;)
Oh, poor Josh. Touched (in the head?) for the very first time. At any rate, I would love to attend, and while I'm deeply sorry that you won't get the chance to hear me slaughter "You Oughta Know"... it should be a wonderful time!

Juliet Tancredi has wrote on Hannah's wall: Please can you be around Jason as much as humanly possible? You really help the mission of 'calling Jason out on stuff when he's being a twat' and I genuinly think he needs it before he drives himself to an early grave because, come on, if he carries on like he does someone will kill him before I do. Also, I love the photo of 'us all', as it were, together; we look like one big dysfunctional family. :)

Hannah Schwartz has wrote on her wall: You would! :) Full rundown: Jeremy Carmichael, longtime friend of the family, we hung out a bit at my mother's wedding back in June. I hear he's been doing quite well for himself at the Ministry lately, but I happen to have seen some truly awkward baby photos which tend to mitigate the effect a little!

Hannah has updated her status:
Hannah Schwartz Happy Christmas tomorrow for those of you who are celebrating! I must confess that I came into work today... it's quite nice to get things done without the usual distractions. To those who aren't celebrating (or wish to avoid their families!), feel free to join me for a day of Chinese food and cinema. :)

Henry Darcy has commented on your status: Getting some work done while everyone else is out of the office you say? It sounds to me like you are indeed a very diligent lawyer and I for one approve. That being said, I wish you a Very Merry 25th December, Hannah!

Did you have a nice holiday, then?

Henry Darcy has commented on your status: You are most welcome Hannah! Good, good, I'm rather glad to hear it. Do send my regards to your parents by the way, I do hope they're well too, it's been months since I've seen them properly.
Well, I thank you for asking but, I regret one could say it was... frustrating at the very least. Let us just say that my ever lovely ex-wife decided that Sophia should not, after all, spend time with her father, at the very least maybe Boxing Day, and instead she remained in Barcelona. I am also informed that Alba, Sophia and her soon-to-be step-father had a rather cosy family Christmas. I'm not bitter, of course, but I just think it would have been a touching gesture to actually be allowed to see my daughter. One visit at Christmas to make up for the 364 days she's hundreds of miles away in Spain... I mean surely that's not too much to ask, is it?
Sorry... sorry I rather went off on a rant there, didn't I? I apologise profusely, I shouldn't be airing my grievances on your Facebook wall, it's terribly impolite, I shall refrain from spontaneous outpourings of feelings in the future!

Hannah Schwartz has commented on her status: Will do! I actually just spoke to my father this morning; he says he's going back to work as a consultant at his old firm. He made an attempt at retirement, but apparently it didn't stick!
There is no need to apologise, and you are well within your rights to be frustrated. I, of course, grew up with divorced parents on separate continents, so I understand how difficult it can be... however, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to see your daughter. Perhaps once Sophia is old enough to travel alone, she'd like to come up during school breaks and such? My parents used to buy me first class plane tickets to fly back and forth and I LOVED it; I always felt like an international businesswoman!
Oh! Are you able to video chat? Obviously, it's not a perfect solution, but it is a bit nicer than speaking over the telephone or through the Floo network.
Best wishes for the New Year!

Henry Darcy has commented on your status: Really? Aaah I suspected it would be hard for your father to retire, I'm glad to hear he's considering going back as a consultant!
Yes but airing them via your Facebook wall? For that I should apologise I'm sure! Yes, of course, if anyone would understand it would be you Hannah. I think the main reason I can't see her is... it pains me to say it but... it's Alba being stubborn. You see, I imagine she wants to play happy families with her fiancee and Sophia so she's dragging her heels somewhat when I say I wish to see Sophia. Plus she claims I never have time enough to devote to my own daughter which is, of course, entirely nonsensical! Anyway, again I digress, sorry... thank you for your advice, I think when she is old enough to travel alone I shall indeed be doing such. Mmm you know the video chat is actually a really good idea... I think I shall propose it to Alba, surely she can't deny me that way of seeing my daughter?!
Thank you and the same to you, Hannah, I hope you have a pleasant New Year.

Henry Darcy has sent you a message: So it would seem... though what I can deduce from your somewhat sloppy typing is that you are an absolutely adorable drunk, if nothing else, and you are being far too complimentary about me- really I am 'charming', am I? ;)
Well I hope you found someone satisfactory enough to be your midnight kiss. Please tell me it wasn't Jason Cullen and I can sleep easy tonight, dear Hannah. Happy New Year to you too!

Benedict Beckett has commented on your status: You know, Hannah, I wish I had taken you up on the open offer of Chinese food and the cinema. Christmas is an absolutely horrid holiday if you a) dislike your family intensely and b) are the only atheist amongst a family of Christians. As you can imagine, the Beckett household was simply delightful this year!
By the by, did you manage to get a ticket for next week's Bach Concertos before they sold out? You see, I have a spare ticket if not which you're more than welcome to... if you're interested in going that is!
((ooc: I'm just blabbering because I made the mistake of re-watching Sherlock today and it makes me want to post with Benedict everywhere so, for the minute, he'll bother Hannah on the pretext that fellow violinists have to stick together!))
