The thing is, it's Bucky's birthday, which he only just mentioned in ( Read more... )

Saffron had been practicing all week, gradually building back up to a normal routine, and by the time Saturday rolled around, she was ready. She was all healed up, and it was time to get back on stage. About gorram time, as far as she was concerned ( Read more... )
