Re: Dining room interaction.
Ellie watched as Laura took the glass of champagne and bit her lip. "Are we allowed to drink that, do you think?" Up until then she'd been drinking pumpkin juice, but if Laura could do it, then so could she. Feeling daring, and like she was about to get caught, she took a glass from the tray of the next waiter that passed, and sipped.
"It's fizzy," she said with a giggle as the bubbles tickled her nose. "Laura, this is like. So much fun! I love dressing up. And I'm glad you're here."
