She shouldn't be so fidgety. It's just Bondurant's and, theoretically, it's just dinner with Barbara. They'd done that a thousand times when she'd been Aggie's guardian. Only things are different now and she hasn't seen Barbara in a long time. What if this is the last time? What if the rift stays open forever and she can see Barbara whenever she wants? What if the city is playing games again?

Worried, she can't help but turn her coffee mug around and around and around until the hot beverage swirls a little bit, threatening to lap the edge.
