Unsurprisingly, her brother failed to make it home in time to take Henrietta to school; to make up for it, he promised she could stay with him at the lab over the weekend. It was well-meant.

[contract_star]

It doesn't. What's most important is what you want.

[contract_star]

[He blinks, then,] Sorry, it's nothing. I was just spacing out. [Puts on a smile.]

Okay.
