September smirked and followed, that last comment having tipped the scales for her. "So exactly how much of a hell-hole is this place?" she asked Sugar, looking over at her briefly. "Bad enough that the next year will be sheer torture?"
Stormy snorted. "It better not be. I've had enough torture for a lifetime."
"Don't be a killjoy, Storm. No one likes a killjoy. Cocoa wasn't that bad." Stormy just gave her a look like, are you serious? and September added, "Okay, it was bad, but...." She sucked in a breath. "Trying to find a positive here." She chewed on her lower lip, thinking. "Yeah, nope. None. Nevermind."
