So so many things to do. Applesauce to make, papers to write, letters to answer, horrible secrets to keep from an overly inquisitive pregnant lady...hopefully nobody has any bad news for her!

Dun dun dun!

Oh, look, it's Bad News! Wait, no, it's just Sel, bearing bad news. How can you tell? She's humming "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" while sipping alternately from an iced coffee and a steaming hot chocolate, flitting here and there through the building looking for Ali. "Ali?"

That humming? Bad news all its own. It's a very resigned-looking Ali that Sel finds in the kitchen, labeling jars of golden goodness.

"In here. Welcome home."

Ali gives her a sidelong look.

"Why?"
