"Yeah, lawyers are kind of used to getting their way. Even when they lose, they get paid. How many jobs have that kind of security?" It was almost a joke. She was surprised at herself.

"Where do you work? If I may be so bold."
It felt strange, good but strange, to exercise the tools of conversation again. It had been so long. With money so tight they'd discontinued her preparations for entering society. Their status had depended on the support of her father, and they'd never imagined how fragile he had been.
