Doesn’t everyone have to fight to make the words stay still on the page? As she gets her phone back, it chimes in her hand, and Carmody’s message -- and pic! -- comes through.]“Th-thanks. Yeah, big momentum... I don’t know if that’s worth Mare hating me. Or making such a shi- such a crappy first impression on Karna. Ha-ha, y-yeah, friendly competition.”
