Season5: Eps4 - Sin in the City 5 (photo story)

Lark: *nods fervently, falling back so Yuri and Kumi can hug Sparrow* “We didn’t know you were coming home! Why didn’t you tell anyone?”

 

Sparrow: “I wasn’t sure when I’d be flying in exactly, so I thought it best to just show up unannounced. Talk about good timing, since Yin and Yang are here this weekend, too.”

 

Yuri: “Row, your hair! You cut it!”

 

Kumi: “Yeah…*eyes Row critically* looks good. Real good.”

 

Sparrow: *runs her hand through her newly shorn locks* “Thanks. I did it out of practicality more than anything, just took the scissors and…*makes a snipping motion* It ended up suiting me, funnily enough.”

 

Kumi (aghast): “You mean you chopped off all your hair…by yourself, with absolutely no thought to how it would look on you? Seriously, the vow of poverty wasn’t enough? Now you gotta play loosey-goosey with your looks, too?”

 

Sparrow (patiently): “I didn’t take a vow of poverty, Kumi. Docs Without Borders pays me. I just don’t make supermodel money. And I didn’t cut my hair totally by myself. XL did the back for me…” *lips curve into a secretive smile*

 

Yuri: “Excel? What a peculiar name? Is it Bolivian?”

 

Sparrow: “Not Excel. ‘XL’, like the letter X and then the letter L.”

 

Lark: “Like extra-large?”

 

Sparrow: *eyes spark with mirth* “Exactly like extra-large.”

 

Kumi: *exchanges a speculative look with Yuri* “Hmm…”

 

—Loud crash interrupts the reunion, as the back of Lark’s display case falls to the floor—

 

Girls: *jump, startled*

 

Lark: “Dammit! There it goes again! *glares at the offensive piece of furniture* Wren said she’d come over and fix it for me, but she hasn’t had the chance yet. The back keeps falling off. It’s already gotten my shins twice today.”

 

Kumi (smugly): “See, this is what happens when you insist on buying used…”

 

Lark (derisively): “And that Dior you just tried on was what, Kums, brand-spankin’ new? Besides, I like using reclaimed stuff in the store. It’s green, and—” *interrupted as the bell over the door jingles again* Geez! We’re closed! I’m gonna have to lock that door. Mags can just knock when she gets here.”

 

Unidentified Man: *strolls over* “I knew there was a reason I didn’t come to Boston more often. The parking’s a bitch.”

 

All the Girls (except Sparrow): *turn to gawk at the tall, rakishly handsome stranger in their midst*
