"Grape juice," Diana responded easily. Hey! She was Greek! It was a close subsitute for wine, which she could not give to them yet, Danica was just turning 21. Though, Danica had already drank wine before coming here. It was just against the law here and Diana had to respect the law if she expected others to do so as well.
Danica ate everything! Not in a hurry, but she had a sandwhich and salad and juice. It was all so delicious!
Diana floated back in with gifts, making Danica pause for a moment and then blush. She didn't want a big deal to be made of her birthday! "There is one more," Diana grinned but quickly told Danica she had to open the other ones first.
"Mother, we talked about this. I didn't want you to worry about my birthday." Danica was embarrassed. Actually looking shy, she put her cup down. Such a defiant child!
"I have missed 16 birthdays, Danica." Diana responded, a soft smile on her face as she glanced over at Kara. "I do not want to miss another one. And it isn't fair to deny your loved ones the right to celebrate your existence either."
