done anything except spin it around—which was extra disappointing

since she was stuck relying on her clumsy left hand. She’d tried

working on some of the makeup schoolwork that Magnate Leto had

knocked myself out in the process.”

“Oooh, that sounds fun!” Ro jumped in. “Let’s try that again!”

her reach.
