[Laura speaks quietly and directly to the point.]

I'd like to apologize to everyone I encountered while we were stuck in that hotel.

[And that's it, until people speak back to her.]


[PRIVATE to Jesse]

I'm sorry for everything. I can't say that wasn't me back there...but it was forced out of me, and it's a part of myself I didn't want introduced to anyone.

I don't know what I showed you while I was fucked up, but I remember the look on your face. I'm so sorry.


[PRIVATE to Wanda]

I think we should talk some more.

[Laura dutifully passes each ingredient as she's asked for them.]

Yeah, I can see why. Making pie is less complicated.

Meh, any recipe gets simpler once you get it into your hands. That's why I do this stuff. In a way it's like a variant of walking meditation. I just let my hands and body go through the motions while my brain sort of rests, and afterward there's yummy stuff.

OK, time to stir in the chocolate. Basically just grab a bag, shake it in slow, and stir while you do it.

[She sets to work on one of the pots herself. She's relaxing a little. Better. If they are going to have a Serious Talk she doesn't want to fly off the damn handle.]

Yeah, you know about the whole Meals on Wheels thing. That helped me out a lot, maybe even more than it helped the people I provided with food.

[Laura caaaaarefully shakes the chocolate out of the bag and into the pot.]

[Wanda pours slowly and stirs it in.] OK, now we just do this til it melts, and then the flavorings and nuts go in. Should only take a few more minutes.]

I've thought of doing something practical instead of going to college, like building houses and stuff.
