Mia had been ready to dig in when Lian spoke up. She was going to say something about how some people might say grace, but not everyone did, but Oliver was already talking. So she put her spoon down and went with it.
She let out a snort with Ollie asked what they were expecting. She just couldn't help herself and she dug out a spoonful of chilli and said, "No, we'll leave that for the next time you're completely sh-drunk and try on a power ring." She punctuated it with a large bite of chilli.
She was hungry. She might go for seconds. If she didn't think it'd burn a hole in her intestines.
