You and Maisie had gotten to the pub early to beat the crowds of people who would line the streets for St Patrick’s Day.

So far it was quiet, but the pub had a low level hum of conversation that showed you weren’t alone. As you walked back to the table with the two pints, she smiled brightly up at you.

“I think I’m going to try to split the G.”

She said confidently as you took your seat again. Her words made you laugh, she wasn’t usually one for drinking beer or stout, but the look in her eyes showed she was adamant she would try.

Adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose, she raised the glass and took a deep breath before going for a long sip. You could only watch in anticipation.
