"How do you take your coffee?" Billie asked Sabrina, staring down at her. Sabrina was sitting on the immaculate sofa in the sitting room next to Matt and Holly.

"Nearly white with cream, but no sugar," Domino said without glancing up from her conversation with her father.

Billie's eyebrows raised and Sabrina side-eyed Domino for remembering how she took her coffee.

Vero sat on a nearby chair, looking between Sabrina and Domino. When she realized that Sabrina was watching her, she winked.

“So, Vero,” Matt began. “How long have you and Billie been dating?”

Sabrina watched as Vero expertly navigated the interview with composure and class, like she was on 60 Minutes. They’d been together for nearly a month, but had known each other for longer. Vero explained how they had written a song together.

“I love that song,” William said, nodding with a convivial smile.

"So, then, Sabrina,” Matt said in the same tone. "How long have you and Dominique been dating?"

Sabrina laughed. "Oh, we're not... we're just friends."

"Holly and I were just friends," he said with a grin.

Sabrina smiled politely. "And what a personal choice it was to take it further," she said.

He blinked, clearly not expecting that reaction from her.

"Ah, I see," he said. "Well, our Dom has never been one for commitment."

Domino yawned exaggeratedly. "Look at the time," she began.

"I don't think she's ever had a girlfriend," Matt added.

Billie returned with the coffee, looking around the tense room in confusion.

"Don't pick on Dominique," Holly began. "She just hasn't found the right woman."

Sabrina clenched her jaw to keep from saying something about not worrying about Domino finding women –– she was an expert in that subject area.

“Okay, let’s all calm down,” Billie said, handing Sabrina a mug of coffee and setting down another for Holly.

"No need to get sensitive, Billie. Dominique just marches to her own beat," Lydia said, trying to keep the peace with years of practice.

"Ah, right, the rock star life. How's that going for you guys? Is it a one-and-done situation? Are you going to get real jobs now?" Matt asked.

Holly squirmed in her seat. "Honey," she said, laying a hand on his arm.

"Well, we can't all find sick kids riveting, Matt," Domino said, looking bored but calm.

Sabrina cleared her throat, turning to Holly. "I heard you work with wolves," she said, pointedly trying to change the subject.

Holly smiled. "I do––" She began.

"––But not for much longer, right, gorgeous?" Matt interrupted.

Sabrina sipped her coffee, trying to avoid glaring at him for interrupting her.

"What? Why?" Billie asked, her brow furrowed.

"We're going to have a baby," Matt said, smiling as he put his hand on Holly's stomach.

"Really?" Lydia gasped.

"That's wonderful news!" William said.

"We ? You're carrying it, too, Matt? Like a seahorse?" Domino interjected.

Vero snorted, trying to hold back a laugh with her hand over her mouth.

Sabrina really wished there was whiskey in the coffee.

"You can't just be happy for us?" Matt said.

“I am happy for you," Domino said, not even smiling.

Lydia looked at Domino and narrowed her eyes. "Dom," she said as a warning.
