[Forward-dated to the morning of March 31, because Dan is impatient. Hush. :|]

Her room has changed a bit since Gail left, populated now by plants and plant-filled aquariums instead of schedules and tidy office supplies. There are file cabinets and a desk against one wall, but even that is flanked by ferns.

She does a cursory sweep to tidy up and puts the kettle on her hotplate before settling down to wait.

He checks his pocket again for the box, just to make sure he didn't imagine going to his room and getting it, breathes, and knocks.

On the other side of the door, Winny will find a totally calm-looking, slightly smiling boyfriend.
