Darla Gunn came up seemingly from nowhere and wrung my hand. “You are so brave, Vega, so brave. But I still wish you weren’t doing this. I mean, we just got your hair looking so nice, didn’t we?” I laughed and it did my spirits good. “You got my hair looking nice, Darla. I had nothing to do with it.” I looked away when tears filled her eyes. I was not going to let myself cry. Ladon-Tosh would probably just kill me harder.
Darla you sweet soul
