Jump-cut to the present! In which we finally come back around to spending some time with our original main characters…plus, what just might be the first human, non-dead explicit love interest all series.
Present day . . .
Bianca: So you confirm that she is definitely not a Being?
Patrick: Correct. And she doesn’t look, seem, or smell familiar.
Bianca: Good boy! All right, run along to see your adult-English-learners class now.
Hey there! Can I help you find anything? Books? Online resources? Information about programs at the library? A movie? Coffee? Maybe lunch?
Cute Freckled Girl: Well, since you’re here, sure! Do you have information about arranging events for elementary-age groups? What’s your track record like with special-needs kids?
And I’d love to know if the library has any limits on accepting donations, and if they can be earmarked for specific things . . .
Bianca: Uh-huh. Uh-huh . . .
Cute Freckled Girl: . . . wait, were you trying to ask me out?
Bianca: Yes! B-but I can help with that other stuff too!
Practically jumping with joy! …and worry that it’ll end before it begins. D:
I can only hope that if something like that happens to me, I roll with it that well.
mmm – ordered information processing. the Que thwarting romance yet again.
YAY BIANCA!
nice,
thanks
Got caught up! Go Bianca, you can do it! (Literally? Hm.)
