467 Stephanie's Acceptance
Stephanie snickered at Wolfe's acceptance of the excuse for only having cake in the house, which sounded more like wheezing in her feline body, but Sophie understood the sentiment even without words.
Then Sophie turned a bit melancholy.
"I've been doing better, you know. I've got great friends, and Stephanie is here to help me all the time, but they don't really understand, you know? They all came from villages where they had families who loved them and friends who cared, and it's all new to me." Sophie whispered.
Stephanie activated the privacy spell around the apartment as the girl continued to talk.
"It's not something that I can really put into words, you know? I don't want pity, but how could anyone really understand? All the scars are gone now, thanks to Stephanie's healing, but only on the outside. It's just that I feel like I can't really fit in.
