    Summary

    “Let’s take the kids for a picnic.”

    Bob put down the Grulovian plant he’d been interrogating, fixing Helmut with a stare.

    “What?”

    “We can put together some snacks for them and the Feelmobile’s all fixed up, might as well take her for a spin,” he said. “We can drive them down to the lake and take the afternoon off. All Raz is talking about lately is learning to swim, he and Lili will be thrilled.”

    “Lili?” said Bob, and scratched behind his ear with a trowel. “I dunno, Helmut, I don’t – I don’t think she’d wanna spend time with me.”

    “Please, of course she will,” said Helmut gently, nudging against Bob’s ankle.

    “I – I don’t think Truman will want me around her...”

    “It’s been six weeks babe,” added Helmut quietly. “You’re doing good.”
    --
    It’s been six weeks since everything with Maligula was resolved, and Bob and Helmut decide to take the kids for a picnic by the lake.

    Summary

    Tuffe found something that always made them feel better. Buried like a dear secret, they kept a small stack of postcards, each with a little note and a sketch. Leaning to catch the swinging paraffin light above, they read the one on top of the pile.

    It began in a cheerful looping hand, the name TUFFE in big letters, as though it was a word the author took great joy in writing. At the bottom was a small drawing of a hatted mumrik in yellow, smiling and holding a flower as big as him. Originally, it had been packaged with a pressed daisy, but in the theatre, even Tuffe found it easy to lose Snufkin’s little gifts.

    Tuffe carefully counted the postcards. One, two, three, four, five. They arrived in November, every year since they first began their life in the theatre.

    Every year, that is, until the last.

    A little Woody runs away from the theatre, looking for someone who was kind to them years ago.

    Summary

    Harry has a proposition that leaves Kim reeling.

    “Is this a joke?” Kim asks quietly, voice as even as he can manage. It doesn't feel like a joke. But maybe beer gives Harry a cruel sense of humor.

    “Nah,” Harry’s breath is hot and wet on Kim’s ear. He places a big, warm hand on Kim’s thigh, too high up to be a friendly pat, and squeezes. “It’s something I’d really like to try. I’ve thought about it a lot.”
