But every time Sophie suggested it, Silveny flooded her head with

NO VISIT! NO VISIT! NO VISIT!

Sophie’s probably going home tomorrow, Fitz jumped in, triggering a

loud swell of SOPHIE HOME! SOPHIE HOME! SOPHIE HOME!

Right, he agreed. She’s just as excited as you are. So why don’t you meet

“I know. Linh told me she saw you guys last night—thanks for

hailing me to let me know,” she deadpanned.
