"I thought you had it" Kira answered, then burst into laughter when she saw the expression on Logan's face. "Of course I've got it, I just always wanted to do that."
Logan rolled her eyes. "You really are a sadist."
"Don't worry" said Kira "Allison is absolutely the best, and you two are perfect together."
