#I get another shot at having a pub owner be a pivot point for the plot

Six-sentence serendipity

I was tagged by @sarahlizziewrites and I thought it would be much longer until I could post six new sentences (I don't think that's a requirement, but it's fun to do it), but I had an idea for Nicea. After finding out Cady is alive, Isabel has to explain to the local pub owner why she suddenly isn't going to meet the terms of their music performance agreement.

“You know Declan’s husband, Cady?” “I know of him,” Mal said. “I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him.” “Well, he supposedly died ten years ago.” Mal treated her to half a scowl. “Maybe you should have led with that.”

Tagging @kahvilahuhut, @sunset-a-story, and @vacantgodling (as always, no pressure)!
