"Hell yes, fuck the Ministry!" Hailey reiterated, glad to see him loosening up a bit. "That's great! He and Lance keep pretty busy. I'm sure they'll have work for you."

You'll land on your feet! I know it. And she'll come around. She has to! You're a catch!" And if she didn't, Hailey would have no problem setting Lucy straight.
