Bryony wasn't used to discussions ending in her favour - but it was nice that Genie seemed happy to let Bryony make her own decision, even if it was a different one than she would have made. Bryony didn't feel like she was being judged or disregarded and it was a good feeling. "Maybe I'll have a cocktail next," she suggested, smiling shyly. "I don't need to drink wine exclusively to try to get used to it."
"Thank you," she added, genuine feeling colouring the word. She would have said more, but an Irish-accented voice announced an end to the delay and started asking the first question. Bryony shifted her chair to be nearer Genie's so they could share the same piece of paper as she wrote down what she thought was the correct answer.
