** Harper **
Wednesday's excursion had ended too soon, and it felt like a dream too sweet to be true. But the toll of scratchiness that Harper's voice had taken from all the screaming was solid proof that it was real indeed, and when she strode into her office the next morning, she was still overloaded with enough cheeriness that she hummed a romantic song the entire way to her cubicle.
"Look at our literal game changer!" Lindsey popped her head up from behind her computer, grinning widely as Harper turned into their shared space. "Good to see that you apparently feel just as jolly as Brandon. Congrats!"
Harper stopped mid-hum, her various daydreams of Eli interrupted by a blast of words that made no sense. "… Congrats? What for?" she asked at a loss. "And why is Brandon feeling jolly?"
