“What a whore!” The exclamation from Talia snapped Eve out of her musings. On the TV screen an absolutely radiant Susan Levi was exchanging rings with her groom.

“Hey, come on,” said Eve. “I hardly think it’s slutty to get married.”

“Right,” said Talia, laying on the sarcasm. She didn’t bother to turn from the TV. “Like you’re qualified to say what’s a healthy relationship.”

Eve couldn’t believe the amount of estrogen she was having to put up with lately. “Excuse me?” she said finally.

Talia sprung to her feet and pointed accusingly at Eve.

“Seven told me all about you, how you won’t stop hounding him. You need to get over it. Seven’s moved on.”

Eve’s cheeks turned red. “It’s…it’s none of your business.”

“It’s totally my business. Like, I know you found that bra in his room. Maybe you weren’t totally clear on this, but that was mine. I left it. Me.” As if feeling the point was not already clear enough, Talia grabbed her own black spaghetti string top by the neck line and tugged it down to reveal the pink undergarment.

“What, is that the only bra you own?”

Talia stuck out her tongue. She let go of the shirt and it sprang back into place.

Eve could feel her blood boiling. Talia was practically a teenager and she dressed like a boy. What could he possibly see in her?

“J-Jon,” stammered Eve, “doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

“For your information, I’m a who, not a what.” She shook her head. “And, like, reality check? Jon’s dead. The sooner you accept that, the easier it’s going to be for the both of you. The two of you are about to work together on what everyone says is a pretty damn important mission. The kind of mission that could bring big changes to people’s lives. But mark my words, if you take all this baggage with you, you’re going to fail.”

Eve wasn’t about to take this from a goddamned little girl. She stood up and told Talia to go straight to Hell.

“Is that the best you got?” asked Talia, beating her chest. “Want to take this outside?”

Eve was flabbergasted. “What? I’m not going to fight you.”

Talia grinned victoriously and sat back down in front of the TV. “That’s what I thought.”

Grumbling, Eve reached for another donut. She wasn’t going to let the brat get to her. Things were too far along, much too far along. Jon was hers, and when everything was said and done, she knew she would have him back.
