For all of Faye's protests, she wasn't a fool— there got to be a certain point where protests only went around in circles, and this felt like one of them. Sighing softly, she shook her head, not exactly sure how she'd earned the loyalty of so many people. Had she really changed all that much? Was it the way the island anchored her that made her give in to the idea of making friends and solid connections? Without the option to leave, Faye supposed she would never know.

"This is where I'm supposed to smile and stop arguing, isn't it?" she joked lightly, managing a thin smile. No, her worries weren't so easily assuaged, but it wasn't nothing to have someone believe in her as wholly as Lily seemed to. How strange, Faye thought. Most people probably would have considered it much harder to be a bounty hunter, but to Faye, she couldn't help thinking that catching a hundred bounty heads would have been easier than the pregnancy alone.
