It was remarkably quiet in the bar tonight. The speakers were playing music, but it had clearly had the volume lowered significantly, and keen observers would notice that Tiny, perhaps, looked intermittently more irritated than usual -- and then, occasionally, maybe a little abruptly fond, like he'd caught sight of something cute and hadn't expected it.
Annie, meanwhile, had conspicuously
not listed any blender drinks up on her specials board, and kept darting glances behind the bar as she hung it up.

Margarita (on the rocks)And once the board was mounted and Annie was back behind the bar, almost as if on cue, there came a soft fussing from the little carrier she'd brought Maggie in. And
that was why everything Annie had put up on the board could be made with one hand if she had to, since it looked like she'd be holding her for awhile until she calmed back down enough to
maybe snooze for the last half of the shift, at least. Considering how much Ben had been wailing when they'd left, sleep didn't seem a definite prospect once they were
home, either.
The joys of parenthood.
