She used to be stingy with her prizes. She still has over a hundred hordes of stashed goods, money, and diamonds scattered across the globe. She's always said she would use them one day to retire in wealth and ease, but lately, her plans have been changing. Lately, she's more giving, helping Eliot help the poor families to whom his heart goes out, aiding Nate in helping still more families with sick and dying children, dropping bottles of orange soda off on Hardison's desk, and most importantly of all, making Parker smile.

It's easy to make the girl smile and worth any price. She's so beautiful when she does. Sophie's started carrying around wads of cash just to throw at her when she least expects it. She always grabs the fluttering, green bills like a hungry child snatching for candy.

Sophie knows she's hungry. She's hungry for acceptance which the team has given her. She's hungry for love, more love than they can give her together but not more than Sophie can and wants to give her.

One night on a case, Nate asks casually, "So you still planning on retiring one of these days?"

"Who?" she asks innocently. "Me?"

At his nod, her gaze shifts to Parker. "No. I don't believe retirement's for me. It's too boring." Her grin grows into a wide smile as Parker glows with delight. She might grab the girl one of these days and dash off to Europe, but she'll never quit the game.

The End
