FOURTEEN
IT TOOK ELWIN MOST OF the night to clean up after the Foster Foot
Energy Triumph—as Keefe had named it—so Sophie was stunned
when he still let Keefe and Ro into the Healing Center the next
afternoon.
She also couldn’t believe that Ro already had a new tattoo inked to
the underside of her right wrist.
Bold, impossible-to-ignore letters declaring, Sparkles Rule!
“Did it myself this morning,” Ro said when she caught Sophie
staring. “A bet’s a bet. I figure this is my reminder to never side
against the moonlark.”
“Always the best way to go,” Keefe agreed, his eyes trailing over
Sophie’s bandages. “No setbacks from yesterday?”
“Nope!”
According to Elwin’s numerous tests, her echoes hadn’t stirred at
all. So physical strain didn’t seem to bother them. Only emotional
turmoil.
Whether that was good news or bad news was yet to be determined.
“And I see Fitzy’s still snoozing,” Keefe noted, moving to his best
friend’s side and waving a hand in front of his face. “Since he’s also
cuddling with his sparkly dragon buddy and looking all rosy cheeked
and peaceful, I’m guessing we don’t need to be worried about that?”
“You don’t,” Elwin agreed. “The sedatives are just a precaution.”
