Edward patted Janice on the shoulder. "Come check on the steak with me."

"Alright."

Barbara watched as they walked into the kitchen together, standing side-by-side as they sampled the steak.

In other words, he wanted Barbara to use her connections to subtly let influential figures in the capital know that Janice was protected by the Moores.

Barbara caught on quickly. "Oh! That works! I was being shallow."
