"You sure are confident now, aren't you?" Penelope chuckled, sensing the light and joy that was surrounding her friend.

August sighed a happy acknowledgement, unable to tame the smile on her face. Everything was finally working out. All of the difficulties were coming to a close, and finally all of them would be able to move on with their lives.
