Two more pages to this chapter. I'm trying to make it a little unclear if Mira is being flirty because she's just manipulating Simon, or if she's actually interested in him.
I think the story has been away from Annie for too long, so when this chapter ends in two more pages I'll jump back to her for at least a chapter. Mira's narrative here won't be over yet though, but it'll have a soft enough ending to wait a few chapters.
