 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Genevieve James was three cups of coffee deep into the day, and she was carrying her fourth in one hand and a stack of paperwork in the other. It was a rough day after a long night, and Vivi was heartsick over the very short reunion she'd had with her children at Hogwart. A short reunion, and then she'd left them behind in that old wreck. Maybe it was heartburn from all the coffee, which was easier to ignore than guilt and sorrow.
Kizzy, in spite of being taller than when she'd been dropped for the train, looked so small and her face was so thin. And the twins... Phoebe had always been sunshine and silliness, but she hadn't said a word. Her face looked different, like a funhouse mirror where you don't recognize the thing you know you're supposed to see. And sweet Teddy just seemed terribly tender. Max would know what to do to fix them when they came home.
For here and now, though, Vivi was the one who knew what to do. Or so she thought, as she approached the holding cells again and found Upstead waiting there. This was going to be a whole thing, wasn't it? "I'll do you the courtesy of not pretending I don't know why you're here, Upstead." She shuffled her papers around to sip her coffee.
