   Summary

   She had hoped today would be a good day. 

   They’d just gotten Tam back, and Keefe had woken up and everything was fine, it was fine, everything had to be fine! 

   She didn’t know what she’d do if it weren’t. 

   They were fine. 

   Everyone was fine. 

   This was a significantly better victory than most of their others, even!

   No one had gotten kidnapped, turned ‘traitor’ immediately afterwards, and no life shattering truths had come out because of it, they’d all gotten out safely, so why did she feel so on edge?

   Why was today one of her bad days?

   OR: In which Sophie screams at nothing, Edaline and Grady are the best, and the Lost Cities weren't made for them, but they can make the most of it.
