"This is Glitz's ship?" Ace asks incredulously, running her hand over the console. It looks so different now than the Iceworld she remembers.
"Was," Mel says, mischief in her smile. "We agreed I should keep it when we went our separate ways."
Ace grins. "Got the kid in the divorce?"
Mel laughs warmly, puts her hand over Ace's. "Could be ours instead."
She hesitates, longing at war with loyalty. "Nah," she says eventually. "Someone's still got to watch the Professor's back. Could maybe stay a while, though."
Mel grips her hand, leans in close. "Stay as long as you like."
