At the gasp her mother gave, Kaye turned to grin. "Nothing happened." She told her mother, turning at the tug on her hand.

"Yet." Roiben's smile was pointed at her, fingers twined in hers

"I heard that!" Ellen yelled, laughing now from the sheer stupidity of it all.

"Me too." Kaye told her mother, grinning and following Roiben out of her mother's apartment.
