Summary
"Regretting the words even as they leave her mouth, she says, “We’re looking for the Fireflies. You should come with us.”
The girl narrows her eyes. “There are no more Fireflies.”
“Yeah, well there might be. In California.”
She smiles wryly. “Might be.”
“It’s the best fucking chance we have, okay? Are you in or not?”
Her shoulders shake as she laughs quietly. “Not. Not with you.” She spits out the last word and her eyebrows are drawn together. So there is still some fight in her.

The girl glares at her.
“We’re leaving first thing tomorrow. Show up or don’t— I really don’t care.” Abby turns to leave. She hears Lev behind her. She doesn’t look back. "---
