The dinner was surprisingly calm for her. Cerberus' absence would explain a lot and she didn't really want him there to destroy the moment.

He didn't say anything and she knew he knows what she was talking about. Then he poured wine on his chalice. He then snapped his finger and her chalice was filled too.

She swallowed hard at the sight of the alcohol. "I don't think—"

"You have nothing to worry about. That's just grape juice."

"Where did you get grapes?"
