“I’m sorry that she disappeared like that, you berk,” Alicia said with a bit of a frown. “I was being sympathetic and feeling stupid for not remembering.” Which was nothing but the entire truth, because it really was sad that Verity had disappeared under those circumstances, all the lives that had been lost or changed for the worst were sad, but at least it had provoked an almost joke from George.
Slowly, Alicia’s lips drew up into a somewhat gloating smirk. “Those tickets are worth twice what you paid for those cases,” she finally grinned. “At least. I mean it, George, even if you didn’t have me, the team this year… you’d want to pay full price for the best tickets available, even over-prize for scalped tickets in the nosebleed section. They’re really starting off with something brilliant.”
