Elizabeth dragged her wife away after her weird interaction with Sera. Valerie was famous for her charismatic yet strange personality, and it seemed the years spent in another Realm hadn't done her any favors.
They sat on a couch farther from the group, where Elizabeth lectured Valerie about manners. Her words fell on deaf ears, as Valerie continued grinning at her.
With a sigh, Elizabeth gave up and leaned on her wife's shoulder while hugging her left arm. They had been inseparable for the past four days, spending every waking and sleeping hour together.
Sera also sat down on a long sofa, with Bea on her right side. Nearby, little Nick slept peacefully, still clutching the also sleeping baby in his arms. Agnes sat by their side, with Damien watching over them with concerned yet soft eyes.
On Sera's left sat Melinda, a wide smile brightening her face. Joan sat beside Melinda, her beautiful, tan face still frozen from her partner's declaration.
