Edaline smiled. “He stopped by yesterday. He wanted it to be your
welcome home present—and he seemed pretty excited with how the
sparkles turned out. Apparently they glow in the dark.”

“Well, Tinker’s place was pretty much a Technopath’s dreamland,”

“Silveny’s been keeping my dreams nightmare-free,” Sophie
promised.
“That’s what I hear,” Edaline said. “How’s she doing?”
