Clarice is outside. It's not a bad place to be, this time of year.
Plus, her deal with Caspian about exercising the horses has been a goddamn lifesaver.
She leaves the stables, brushing straw from her hair, and stops a minute by the lake.
It's been almost a week, and she still hasn't seen Cooper.

In a word?
Clarice turns quickly, expecting it to be-- well, anybody, really. You never know who's going to run into you around here.
... The narration lies.
She was not expecting who she sees.
"Cooper."

Maybe he did go home.
But that could only have been for what, a few days? And where did he go?
"I've been okay," she says after a moment.
A slight hesitation.
"A little worried about you, but pretty okay."
