And she’ll be the death of me. Of us. I’m here to do a job. I’m here for our crew. But Pen is a problem we hadn’t foreseen. Stupid. Of course she would be here at the Academy. This place was always her dream, and despite every damn thing going against her, despite a mother who never supported her, she’s made it happen anyway. She’s grabbed her future by the balls, and I admire her for it even if in the beginning I’d believed that Jeb had pulled strings for her to be here.
