He likes that they still make time for each other like this. It's one of those nights that Sabrina has had to sleep over at the store, so Charlie had invited Rosie to come over and hang out - stay the night, if she wants to. Kavinsky had cooked dinner and they'd hung out, and then Kavinsky and Newt had gone to bed and left Rosie and Charlie hanging out on the sofa.

"I might go and change into pjs," says Charlie, sitting up and stretching his arms over his head. "Do you want to stay? I can lend you something."

The Wizard of Oz, she knows, having read a few of the books years ago, but the story Charlie describes sounds like and unlike anything she can recall. It sounds exactly like the kind of thing she'd be drawn to even now--maybe more so, with everything she's learned and done and felt in the last few years. All the times she's tried, and sometimes failed, to shape the way her own story's gone.

Which Charlie knows, of course, better than anyone. "That sounds perfect," she says, her smile just a little wry at the edges. "Magic and everything."
