Alice could have cheered, and it was only decades of practice that kept her from actually doing it. Justine was good, but then she'd seen that look on Thomas' face before when she'd corralled Jasper into some deal he'd been avoiding and realized he was cornered, so it wasn't a total shock. That was just how it worked.
Props on her for doing it without being able to tell the future though, jeez.
"She's not wrong Thomas, I mean- ok we've been riding around for weeks and you know I was first in line to get you gone, but everything's different now and besides, you do wanna go back, I can see it every time I talk about it." When he wasn't scowling or shouting and sometimes even then. And she was not going to bring up Dru. That was definitely Justine's job this time.
