Kvell: to be extraordinarily pleased; especially, to be bursting with pride, as over one's family.


Richard looked around the room. Back in the beginning, back when they were just five strangers hoping to save the galaxy or at least Illinois, Tom had said that this team wouldn't last till the time the sun shined the next morning.

Now Dick could see him laughing at some meme on Sawyer's phone, leaning over the latter's shoulders, his head tucked on top of theirs. Skyler and Harley were somewhere, possibly causing property damage.

There had been a huge crash near the kitchen seemingly proving Dick's point.

"Everyone's okay!" Skyler yelled.

"How about everything?" Tom called back.

"Um," Harley called. "Give us like five minutes and a broom."

Dick snickered at Tom's horrified expression.

"You better replace whatever you broke." He yelled.

"Please you won't even notice it's missing!" Harley called back.

"I bet, I will!"

"Bet! If you notice I'll replace it, if not it's gone forever!"

"Stop being overdramatic!" Sawyer interjected.

"He's the one being overdramatic." 

"No, she is!"

"You both are!" Sawyer said.

Dick looked around the room and smiled.

Wouldn't last till morning's light my ass.
