“Wow,” Cordelia said as the three of them headed back out toward Karl’s car. “I hadn’t realized how well Chief Shelton knows you, Stephanie!”

“Oh, everybody in the SFS knows Steph.” Karl chuckled, and Stephanie shook a fist at him. But then she chuckled herself.

“I’m really a lot better than I used to be,” she said. “I was a little surprised he was willing to allow us to be officially involved at all, though.”

“I think you can probably thank Cordelia for at least some of that,” Karl said, reaching down to ruffle her hair. “I think he expects her to be a moderating influence on you.”

“I think you’re right,” Stephanie said wryly, and smiled at Cordelia. “Thanks, Cordy.”

“All I did was sit there and nod in all the right places,” Cordelia said, and all three of them laughed.

Despite that, Stephanie strongly suspected Karl had a point, and she was grateful for Cordelia’s support. Especially because she hadn’t needed that odd sensitivity to emotion she sometimes got through Lionheart to know that Cordelia had been surprised—and maybe momentarily upset, when she saw Stephanie was with Karl. That had been part of the reason she’d gotten in the back seat, so Cordelia wouldn’t feel like a tagalong.

And they’re the same age and both new adoptees and…She’d really be perfect for Karl, so why don’t I feel happier about the idea?

“Next move?” she asked a bit more brightly than she felt.

“First, we feed the Harrington,” Karl said. “I suspect we need to fortify your blood sugar if we’re going to get your very best scheming out of you.”
