	Victoria glanced up at the odd tone she caught in Alex’s voice before he continued. “With that super brain of yours,” she said to his first offer, “I’ve no doubt.” She looked back to the menu once more, and decided to go the “disgusting” route. A burger and fries sounded too good to pass up.
	She looked back to Alex as he gave his second offer, and blinked in surprise. She opened her mouth to respond, but the waitress bounded up beside them.
	“Sorry for the wait!” She pulled a pencil and pad of paper from the apron draped over her white blouse. “What can I start you off with to drink?”
	“Root beer, please.” Victoria fidgeted with her menu.
	“And for you, sir?” The waitress looked to Alex.
