““Very shoddy dressing. Leave it to Sophia to bring her B game to a sacrifice with cosmic and eternal implications.” Luce was desperate to study the reaction on Miss Sophia’s face, but Daniel held her back. There were a scraping sound, a melodramatic gasp, and a cruel soft cackle. “Ah yes,” Miss Sophia said. “My tramp sister returns, just in time to witness my finest hour. This will trump your overrated piano recital!” “You’re really very dumb.” “Because I don’t have the recommended brand of rope?” Sophia snorted. “Forget the rope, dope,” Dee said. “You’re dumb in many dozens of ways, not the least of which is thinking you might get away with this.” “Do not condescend to her!” hissed the third Elder. “There’s really no other way to approach her,” Dee instantly replied. “Thank you, Lyrica, but I can handle Paulina,” Sophia said without looking away from Dee. “Or what do you have people call you now? Pee?” “You know very well it is Dee. You only wish you knew why.” “Ah yes, Dee. Biiiiiig difference. Well, let us enjoy our brief reunion as best we can.””
