Sipping Quote by Shannon McKenna
““Come on. Let's go up to the kitchen, make some tea. We can try another one of Zia's cupcakes. She made some with chocolate frosting." Lily froze in her tracks. "I hate it," she burst out. "I'm here, sipping tea and nibbling cupcakes while Bruno's out there? What, should I maybe crochet a white lace doily while I'm at it?" Tam and Edie exchanged glances. Tam, spoke, her voice dry. "Shot of bourbon, then?””
