Evie hadn't needed to sleep with the teddy bear last night, but she was rather sad that she had to go back to wearing skirts and blouse. Why hadn't she packed more dig clothes?

Evie surfaced from the depths of her trunk and blew her hair out of her eyes. "Rather more trouble than packing was, though I didn't think that was possible." She gave the redhead at the door a cheerful grin and said, "Hello! I'm Evie Carnahan. I'd invite you in," she looked around at every surface covered by books, while she tried to figure out what order to shelve them in, "But I'm afraid there's nowhere to sit down."

"You may have more books than Liz and I combined," said Janet, laughing. "Which I didn't think was possible. Janet Fraiser." She stepped inside, around a teetering stack of books, and looked at the stack on Evie's bed. "Need a hand?"
