When the Quinns left the house, Leah was already in the kitchen making a snack for Ala, her movements lighter and more purposeful. Ala was also in a better mood, following Leah around the kitchen like a little kitten.
"What kind of magic did you just perform in there?" Hades asked as they walked toward the car. He had been half expecting to see Leah flying out of the house with Nimo and his wife to give Moon the second painful welcome to their fortress. "She went from a funeral mood to making sandwiches in ten minutes. Did you promise to take Moon for a trip to Shardling lake like you guys did with Amber?"
"I promised her a very miserable ending for Moon but not the Shardling lake trip." Sunshine said simply without revealing her true plan to him. "All you need to know is that it will be awesome. Fireworks. The watchers will love it. Let's just say Leah is happy because justice is a great appetite stimulant and energy boost."
