The great thing about soda at a pizza parlour is: there's always more. She just needs to ask.

"Mm, that does sound good." Verity sets her menu aside when Amelia does. Since they'd decided on the walk, she was looking out of curiosity more than a need to decide on anything. "That could get pretty spicy. That okay with you?"

Yes, there can be more hand-holding. Verity will hold Amelia's in both of her own, cradled and safe. Pizza and hand-holding is becoming their "thing". Hopefully, Amelia will be able to better handle the people making wrong but well-intentioned assumptions in the future.
