How Alicia had agreed to bring her children to the pub on quiz night was still beyond her. Of course, they’d been thrilled about going, and even Adrian seemed enthusiastic about it, and said enthusiasm was what had made her say ‘yes’ in the first place. While it was true that she had lost some of her competitive edge since she had stopped playing Quidditch, she did like to win still… though this felt almost like cheating.
She smiled up at Adrian at his kiss, and watched him for a moment as he walked to the bar, before she looked back to the twins and they quickly went over the rules for the quiz and for them being there in general. Rules or not, though, they were almost bouncing in their seats when Adrian returned.
“Ooh,” she said as they were handed the menus, and without thinking twice, joined in the children’s chorus: “Me!” oh, she was ready for total food rule breaking.
“Chips!” Liam suggested.
“Fish’n’chips,” Alicia added.
“Mushy peas!” Isla chimed in, earning herself a curious look from Alicia. “I like them,” she said with a shrug.
Alicia looked at Adrian and chuckled. “And mushy peas.”
