Marlene only half-heartedly glared at them. "Honestly, it was about the money at first. I was raking in a killing as a bartender, much more than I would be making just starting out as a solicitor. But, I don’t know, taking the exam and getting a real job seemed like such a disgustingly  adult  thing to do after a while. Then Remus moved back and asked if I wanted to help him open up the shop. I had a bit I could invest, so I’m a partial partner and he pays me a decent salary. Not as much as I was making at the bar, mind, but shacking up with a gorgeous, loaded artist makes up the difference."
