"I felt like I should not have been the one to handle it," Josie knew how insecure she was about her half-veela blood. "But I couldn't gracefully pass her off to someone else at the time either." Tabi was nothing if not overly conscious about that aspect of her life.

"I know the feeling," Her father thought she worked too much, but honestly Tabs would do just about anything, including overwork herself, to avoid being at home for any length of time. Her father had voiced his concerns, but she had responded with the desire to better herself in her occupation and he hadn't had much of a retort. "I didn't get to enjoy the Christmas festivities, I do hope the New Years festival is as good as last year." Work had kept her busy and most of the time by the end of the day she was too tired to venture out after a shift, but this year she was not working New Year's eve itself.
