Brooklyn looked at the two and shook her head, giving a snort that was obviously fond. “You two are unreal. Maybe with people like you growing up and…you know. Going into the world it might be just a bit less crappy, do you think?”

She grinned and then her eyes lit up as the group who had been in front of them moved away, though before she let Elliot walk up to order, she hesitated and threw an arm around each of the boy’s shoulders. “Thank you. And Elliot, I can’t see you being anything other than like. A fairy godmother in people’s stories, not just a footnote. You both…”

There was a lump forming in her throat, and every nerve in Brooklyn suddenly felt tensed to run. If things were feeling this good. If she was feeling this happy, there was absolutely no way it would last but.

God she wanted it to.

“You’re really great.”

She drew away and gave Elliot a playful, gentle shove towards the window. “...Now feed me. We’re hungry.”
