"It's not a week and a half," Mission said suddenly. They turned to look at him. "The Underworld show. It's a week."

"Can't," Laurie said. "I'm taking Danny to see Book of Fish at the Pig. Extenuating circumstances." He caught Lea looking at him strangely. "What? It's important."
"I didn't think you knew what 'extenuating' meant," she teased, grinning. Laurie stuck his tongue out at her. "Don't stick that out at me, I don't know where it's been."
