Joy was right, as always.

Lilith returned a few hours later, her arms loaded with enough food to feed the entire Queen’s army.

“I got us pizzas,” Lilith announced, setting the massive stack of pizza boxes on the coffee table and dropping onto the couch beside Fey.

After enduring a full plate of Willow’s bacon and vegetable omelet—which had been doused in hot sauce and was very, very mean—they had retired to the living room, all three of them, to watch bad TV and relax. Fey couldn’t stand the idea of spending another second in bed, so even though she was exhausted, she had refused to leave the couch. Joy had found a soft, knitted blanket from somewhere in the apartment and brought it to her, and Fey had used it to create a blanket cocoon, wrapping herself in the luxuriously soft fabric and taking up far more space on the couch than was necessary.

“Ooh!” squealed Willow, leaning forward to flip one of the pizza boxes open. She grabbed a slice and settled back on the couch, wriggling in pleasure.

Lilith made no move to grab any pizza for herself, but when Fey took a paper plate and loaded it with everything that looked good, she shuffled herself just back enough on the couch so Fey could lean against her shoulder while she ate.

This was the closest Lilith would ever get to apologizing, Fey knew. And it was enough. Fey smiled, leaning back into the couch and resting her head against Lilith’s shoulder as she chewed a slice of pizza.

Apology accepted.

They spent the next hour eating pizza, flipping through the channels for mindless TV, and chatting. At some point Fey drifted off to sleep, still exhausted from the trauma her body had gone through, still healing.
