"Good. That's good. But it doesn't matter who replaces her," Max shrugged, instinctively smoothing out his robes. "You can beat anyone. You're a star."
The lip chewing intensified.
"I'll," Ellie cast glances at surrounding people,
"tell you later." Hint, hint. When there were less people. And she could...cry should that happen, which she really hoped wouldn't, but it happened and... Later was just better.
She shook her head.
"I can't. And I'm not" Clearly, or they'd have won the Championship last year, wouldn't they?
