Normally, Ginny tries not to take more than her fair share. That's the rule of this life, where supplies are sparse and time is often even more so. But this warm evening seems to dangle, at once endless and ending too quickly, so she takes what she wants. First, two beers swiped from Marya's quickly dissolving pong game. And then this: a long, quiet moment to look at Ijemma's features cast in the orange light of the fire, storing them in her memory before she extends a beer and a question. "Penny for your thoughts?"
