Ivy and MJ screamed in unison, glaring at Era like her tears cost them heat. MJ spun around. “I’m serious, that bag was worth five coins!” Venice muttered without looking up, “You mean five dimes.” MJ shrieked, “It’s slang, moron! God, you’re so low class sometimes.” “That’s our money you’re losing!” Ivy barked. “Why the hell are you still buying bags when we haven’t paid for heat?!” “You think I knew we’d be broke by Tuesday?!”

“Oh? And when did you become a child psychologist, Mr. Hartley?” Jonathan grinned, his eyes crinkling with amusement. “Since I started dating a brilliant, overworked attorney with a penchant for trouble,” he teased, earning another soft laugh from her. Their laughter mingled softly with the ambient hum of the restaurant. They continued eating, the mood lighter now despite the weighty conversation.
