Jane & Izzy
Jane grinned. "I try," she replied easily. "I'm not usually so good with figuring out guys, but I'm getting better with it." It was helping that she wasn't spending all her time in the lab and socializing more. Her niece helped, too. She was an easy conversation starter, although she was also a conversation ender sometimes when she started crying. "Oh no, what's wrong, kiddo?" she asked Stephanie, rocking her a little more to help settle her.
When it became clear that she wasn't going to settle immediately, Jane offered Izzy an apologetic smile. "I think I need to go find Darcy. This might be her hungry cry." She stood carefully with her niece in her arms. "Don't feel like you have to apologize for your brother to everyone. He's not that much of a jerk." With that, she went to go see if she could find her best friend.
