There's this aching, sore feeling just at her solar plexus that's difficult to recognize for a moment, until she thinks: when was the last time this many people were so happy to have her around?

It's not that she wasn't friendly with her colleagues, but she'd always kept them at a remove. Her whole life, she'd been able to count her real friends on one hand, and she'd always wanted to keep it that way.

To have two near total strangers offer her peace and quiet and a safe place to stay...

She has no words for it. She passes a wordless glance with Nakia, her eyes shining, and her friend smiles before giving T'Challa an arch look. "Perhaps I will tell you," she says. "...Someday."

"Maybe once the statute of limitations is up," Sharon agrees, and grins.
