Audrey trained relentlessly over the following weeks.

Ever since it truly hit us that she was the Silver Star, she'd been filled with a new sense of determination that I couldn't even begin to put into words.

She blinked, coming back to herself as if she had been a very, very long way away. "Oh," she said breathily, touching her nose with a trembling hand. "I. I didn't even notice."

I handed her a tissue. "We're done for the night."

Her eyes flashed silver. "I'm fine-*
