1. Alec and I sleep on past the time for leaving while rain hisses down outside.
2. The day improves immeasurably once I stop trying to do housework, pack Alec into the sling and walk out with no particular place to go.
3. "You look very pretty," says Nick as I dust on a little face powder. And then I get the hell out of there before Alec wakes up again.
