She laughed lightly. "It's not like I don't want to play Billy: nothing would make me happier. But unlike you, the idea of playing and having fun wasn't really an option with a war going on. Not that I'm not going to play with you or Renne: I just know that I'd better take the time to do it when the opportunity is there."

She smiled. "Nothing makes me happier than the time I get to spend with you two, with the exception of maybe one more person. But I agree with you, of course: I think we should take the time to unwind when we can."
