The barmaid interrupted at that moment with her "brother's" dinner. Veronica took that moment to glance sidelong to Barney who, in turn, took that opportunity to waggle his fingers at her. She saw with dismay he'd gotten another drink.

Veronica forced a smile and returned her attention to the man across from her. "So, uh, where are Paige and this kids?" She pulled a face, attempting to communicate another apologetic shrug.
