Luck Wasn't On His Side Today

"So, what do you do for a living, Ezra?" David's friend Dylan asked conversationally.

Ezra washed a bite of his food down with water before answering. "I'm a civil litigation lawyer. Mostly I deal with people suing each other."

"Interesting. Do you like it?"

"Being in court can be stressful but the perks are worth it. It's a decent job," he replied with a shrug.

"Don't get him started; he can go on about being in court forever," Eden warned jokingly so Ezra pulled a face at her, making everyone else at the table laugh. They might not look alike but it was obvious from the way they interacted that they were siblings.

The rest of the dinner passed pleasantly with easy flowing conversation and good food. Once nearly everyone was finished eating, they moved onto the next part of the program. The bouquet and garter tosses.
