"I went to Fisk's wedding reception," Judith said.
Anna's fork clattered to her plate. "You what?"
"You know I keep tabs on him, Anna, don't act like you don't have Max check for outstanding warrants once or twice a year. Anyway, he married that boyfriend of his."
"Fisk got married?" Anna said.
"Is it true love?" asked Thomas, wide-eyed.
"Maybe," Judith told him. "I talked to the guy's sister, and she seems to like Fisk. You should've heard her jump to Fisk's defense when I said he was an a—aaaaaah, a big meanie," she said, glancing at her niece and nephew.
"Oh my god," said Lissy.
Judith stared at her. "What's wrong?"
"Um," Lissy said. "Fisk getting married, it's just, it's really weird. Yeah."
"What's his husband like?" Anna asked.
"He looks at Fisk like he hung the moon, it's actually kind of disgusting how in love he is. He's rich, though, and Fisk's probably responsible for half of that wealth. Should've known he'd go into editing, he gets to mock bad writing all day."
"It's good that he found a more… stable job," said Max.
Judith flipped him off under the table, and he frowned at her.
-.-.-.-
Later, Judith went to put her dinner dish in the sink, and Lissy followed. "What was Michael's sister like? Did you talk to her long?"
"Her name's Kathy, and she likes Fisk well enough, which would suggest the relationship is serious between Fisk and Michael. How well do you know the other people at your body farm internship?"
Lissy made a weird face. "Not at all," she said. "Why?"
"No reason," said Judith.
-.-.-.-
It wasn't until Judith was getting her coat to leave that Lissy cornered her again.
"Can I set you up on a blind date?" Lissy asked. "Please?"
"What? No. Why?"
"I met this girl, she's looking for someone like you, it'd be perfect, I know you'll like her."
Judith snorted. "I don't like anyone."
"So, that's a yes, then? Excellent!" Lissy said, and kissed her cheek before dashing off. Judith sighed, but didn't argue.
