"What are you ladies up to?" Olivia asked as soon as she sat back on her chair. She saw that Emily and Ava were discussing something over a piece of paper. "Where's our food? I'm famished," she added.
"Brainstorming for the seating arrangement," Emily replied nonchalantly and kept her focus on the piece of paper in her hand. A few seconds later, she peered at Olivia after sensing the hungry and angry dragon beside her, and rubbed the latter's arm saying, "Food's coming, Livi darling."
Hearing Emily's reassuring words, Olivia contained the angry beast inside her and gestured for the paper to which Emily happily handed to her.
"It's just a birthday dinner, Ava. You don't have to stress yourself about it," Olivia commented. She could not understand why Ava had to trouble herself and others for a mere seating arrangement.
"But it's your birthday and as your sister-in-law, I have to make sure everything goes as planned."
