SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Ashley was taken aback by the camaraderie between Myra and Leah, silently pondering when their bond had deepened. As Myra waved to her, Ashley and Josh settled into their seats across the aisle.

Curiosity piqued, Ashley leaned forward. "What were you guys talking about?" she inquired.

Myra shrugged nonchalantly. "Just missions and how I'm not helping during fights," she replied with a hint of self-deprecation.

"That's not true. Remember when Dylan was being mind-controlled? You stopped him," Ashley pointed out, a note of admiration in her voice.

"I hugged him while you guys fought him," Myra retorted with a playful smirk, eliciting a chuckle from Ashley.

Leah, sensing the tension, interjected with a question. "Are you and Dylan close?" she asked Myra, her tone cautious.

Myra hesitated before responding. "Not really," she admitted, her expression guarded.
