“Did you not eat?” Yara frowned, clearly unimpressed with her son’s mumbled response. “You’re a young man, not some timid little girl—speak up!”

Harlan had no choice but to raise his voice. “I heard you, Mom!”

That finally seemed to satisfy her. She patted the back of his head and said, with a gentler tone, “See? That’s better. Don’t walk around like you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders—you look half-dead when you do.”

The Richards family’s eight uncles, their wives, and thirteen cousins had all returned to Neon Spire.

Keira was making paper snowflakes with Keira and Fortune when Lynn arrived with the message that her granddaughter needed her. She quickly set down the scissors. “You two keep working—I’ll go see what Freya wants.”

Fortune and Hannah nodded. “Go ahead, don’t keep her waiting.”
