Mr. Ashford and Coleen were having a chit-chat not far away. "Molly seems to have a good impression of Jack. Looks like we might become one big family in the future, huh?" Coleen caught his drift, and she replied, "My girl is young and easily excited by anything fun. But about the future, we'll have to see what her dad says."

Jack, holding a glass of wine, offered it to Molly, "Molly, we've been talking for a while. How about a fruit wine to refreshen up?"

"I don't drink, thanks." Molly turned him down.

Jack was even more smitten with Molly, "You don't drink?"

Memories of drinking at dinners with friends flashed through Molly's mind. She fibbed again, "No, I don't."

Hearing this, Jack didn't press Molly to drink anymore and offered to get her a non-alcohol drink instead.

Molly remembered her nephew's advice of pouring her own drinks at events and not accepting ones given by others. Her friends also warned her that colored drinks might not be safe. Truth was that she had once asked her father in secret about Mia getting hammered at Harry's birthday party and making a fool of herself, which gave everyone a good laugh. "No, I'm not thirsty." She said.

Jack thought she was being wary of him, "Molly, you should trust me."

"Sorry, I only trust my brother and my dad."

She only trusted the fathers and brothers of the Cedillo and Byrne families, and was on guard with everyone else.

Soon Coleen came over to call her daughter. After all, a new girl chatting with a grown man for so long would surely raise eyebrows.

Molly stood up and told Jack, "I'm gonna find my mom now. Thanks for your company."

Molly quickly walked over to Coleen, saying, "Mom, I'm parched, my throat's all dry."

"You silly girl, you're slow but quick to react. You're smart but you're thirsty and don't think to drink."

Coleen handed her a drink, "It's coke. The drinks are all labeled. Get whatever you want."

Molly downed the coke in one gulp.
