Seems you can too!” she laughed happily, actually using the tone as more than just a mask for how bitter she was underneath. It felt good, really, to be able to laugh and not feel like it was a lie.

In the back of her mind, she still wondered if things would work out, but she was so content she didn’t mind the thought as much.
