"Ben, what do I have to do to get one of those hats?" I asked.
"Work here?"
"I could do that."
Alec clamped a hand across my mouth. "No, she can't."
I gave him a dirty look that I didn't really mean as I pushed aside his hand. "If I can act as cook and maid to the Heavenlys for three years, I think I can serve a few drinks."
"It is not a matter of ability, Teela, because I think you can do anything you set your mind to. It's a matter of I'd be arrested the first time some drunk touched your ass."
"You've taught me well. I can handle a handsy drunk myself."
"Yeah, but you shouldn't have to."
Stiff said, "If you need more work, say the word, Teela. We've got an entire spreadsheet full of requests for services. CK and I can't fulfill them all."
"How many do I have to clear to earn help with another love list project? Oh, and a hat?"
