And you knew the spell, the one that zapped Lizzie.
( And freed the Hope memories. )
This might help, and I am sorry we kept it from you together, but when Lizzie remembered? She stalked up to me in the towns square and said my full name like she was my mother and I was in trouble. Thank you for not holding that over her. I asked her not to say anything.
[It sounds dismissive, but it was true. Lizzie is not the best at secrets to begin with, so if Lizzie was keeping something, then it's because someone asked it of her.]
It's okay. There's nothing we can do to change it now, and knowing how I was feeling at the time? I probably would have reacted badly.
( normally, it would sound dismissive but with the sugar and their collective happiness, it just feels like a formality. lizzie's not good with secrets. it's true. )
And, you had Clarke in your ear.
( however that would land, hope says it with a wide, knowing smile as she takes a sip from her coffee. )
It's controversial, but, I'm happy how everything played out. Change one thing and who knows what changes with it.
Actual real person. He was trapped in -- well, actually ( Setting her cookie down on a napkin and her coffee on the side table, she slides off of the bed and reaches under.
Reaching, she retrieves his chest. Her hand rests on top. )
Don't open it. It's for... group therapy? A way or us to find the truth if we ever need it. He was trapped inside for months.
[She's not sure how that would be useful, but she can't help but be curious. She will respect Hope's instructions and not open it, however. They'll have time to dig into that later.]
( She drums her fingers along the top, before taking a hold and handing it to Josie proper. She pushes herself up off from the floor then. )
It was something.( The exhaustion tinges her pleasure with that particular memory surfacing. ) Honestly? I don't know how we all took the noir bent, I didn't know anybody in our group liked The Big Sleep, or it was Ms. Tig's influence. ( She shrugs away the possibility. ) The real Vardemus played the part of Sherlock Holmes. Which, mixed mediums. Anyway, if you open it, you and I will get sucked in. And then we'll solve something together. Probably not the time.

So he's an actual real person? Not just Clarke trying to gain my mom's trust?

Is it like a chambre de chasse?

After Alyssa Chang, the prison world and you coming back. Emma, Miss Tig even came back. It... came with me.

Thank you, for bringing by the cookies and the drinks. I needed it.
