But she wasn't about to do it in front of someone when she didn't need too. "It's okay though, honestly. Sometimes short people put things in the back of bottom cabinets to make up for it." Like she did, clearly, which was why she ducked down underneath to pull out a bottle of scotch, which she handed to him in return. Glasses at least were reasonable to be reached and she got two of them out before she asked, "do you want it with ice or water or neat?"
