Yelena leaned over curiously, half-expecting to see another cute cat photo—Fauna's phone was practically a digital archive of fluffy animals making ridiculous faces.
But to her surprise, the screen showed something entirely different.
It was a photo of Anya, Charlotte, and Astrid together in what looked like a cozy café.
Anya sat at the center, her usual composed smile in place, holding her phone up for a selfie with practiced elegance.
Beside her, Astrid sat slightly awkward, her hands clasped in front of her, her expression uncertain like she wasn't quite sure how to pose for the camera.
And Charlotte had immediately struck an extremely cute pose, tilting her head, pouting her lips, and giving the camera a look that was equal parts innocent and devilish.
She looked like she was having the time of her life, as always.
Fauna pressed the phone against her ample chest, practically vibrating with excitement.
