"Well," June sighed after a moment. "Time to get some newspaper clippings and red string."

He rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to speak, but Izzy interrupted whatever he was about to say.
"Would anyone like a drink?"

Romano and Veneziano both perked up immediately. The twins' voices were in perfect unison. "Do you have any wine?"

"Tokay, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Grigio," she listed them, frowning. "Or Firewhiskey if you'd prefer."
Lyra laughed at the two of them. "I'll just have water, please, Izzy."

"Tokay, gratzie," they responded, giving each other a strange look. "We haven't done that in years."
"I'll take that firewhiskey, thanks," June put forth.

Izzy nodded. "Anyone else?"
Tessa looked slightly hopeful at that, and Will snickered. "You've got no chance."

"I'll try the Pinot Grigio," Basch put forth, crossing his arms.
June glanced at Tessa, eyebrows raised. She remained uncharacteristically silent.

"Water, please," Tessa huffed at last.
"Alright, I'll be back in a minute," Izzy said, unaware of the way June was looking at her daughter.

After a bit, June sighed and averted her eyes, expressionless.
"So, Izzy, how's work?" Basch tilted his head. "You still work as an editor, correct?"

"Well, at least we have editors like you out there to prevent writers from putting the public through those mistakes." Romano picked up his glass, giving it a delicate sniff before taking a sip.
