"Well okay then!" Zoe shouted back, still loud but no, not angry. "Okay then," she said, taking a deep breath. "Okay." She seemed to be stuck on that word.

If Zoe was stuck on 'okay', Rachel was stuck on 'wow'. "Wow," she'd said as Zoe started shouting and "wow," she said as Danny shouted back. She'd never heard Danny shout before. She hadn't thought he was capable. "Wow," she added, as Zoe calmed down a little. "Wow, you were almost sold in slavery."

"Yes," said Zoe. Most of her anger had gone but it left her feeling hollow and shaken. Shaking. She squeezed her hands into fists to try and get them to stop. "Yes, that was the idea."

"Hashtag trust issues," Rachel said, quietly. Zoe smiled very thinly at her.
