"That was a delicious cake," Lisa said, sliding under the duvet and waiting for Jennie to come to bed.   Jennie was pacing back and forth at the foot of the bed. "It was. It really was."   Lisa looked at her. "You're worried about Sunmi, aren't you? Don't worry - I am too. But we'll take care of her."   "That's part of it," Jennie said, climbing over the footboard and sitting on the end of the bed. "It's also that she got me thinking about kids."   "What about kids?" Lisa asked, sitting up.   Jennie clasped her hands together and closed her eyes for a second. "It's just brought home to me, if we're going to be together, we're going to have to deal with all those sorts of life things."   Lisa smiled, nodding excitedly. "It's going to be great!"   Jennie looked at her, confused. "How can you say that? What if you want kids and I don't? What if I want kids and you don't? How many kids should we have? When should we have them? How should we have them?"   Lisa crawled down the bed and gave Jennie a hug. "And we get to decide all those things together, and we don't have to decide them tonight. . ."   Jennie looked into Lisa's eyes. "What if something happens to one of us before we decide?"   Lisa pulled Jennie in close and began her hair. "This is about your parents, isn't it?"   Jennie nodded and sniffled a bit, trying to hold back her tears.   Lisa leaned down and kissed Jennie on top of the head. "We can't tell what will happen. We just have to do the best we can each day."   "But," Jennie protested, pulling away, "remember when you broke your leg last year? What if you had broken your neck? You could have died!"   "But I didn't die. Tell me something: How many guests of Fire Lodge have died, in all the years it's been open?"   Jennie thought for a moment. "None, unless it happened when I was very small."   Lisa reached out and grabbed Jennie's arm. "What happened to your parents was a tragedy, and I don't want you to think I'm trying to downplay that, but most people don't die in horrible accidents. We just have to trust that we'll have time to do the things we want to do."   Jennie leaned into Lisa and went limp, wrung out by all the emotions she was feeling. "If we do have kids," she said, "I want to have more than one. As fun as it was growing up at the lodge, it would have been a lot more fun if I hadn't been an only child."   Lisa nodded. "That makes sense. But at any rate, we don't have to decide tonight, and we've got to get up early tomorrow - I've got to work on getting the lodge ready for this weekend's guests, and you promised Sunmi you'd go with her to meet with the lawyer."   Jennie nodded, then yawned. "You're right." She crawled under the duvet, then held the edge up for Lisa to climb in after her. Lisa reached over to turn off the light, then turned back and wrapped her arms around Jennie. In just a few minutes Jennie was asleep, snoring quietly. Lisa lay awake quite a while longer, staring into the dark, worrying about what the future might hold. She didn't know what she'd do if something happened to Jennie   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   Chaeyoung looked up from the bread she was kneading and saw Jennie coming into the kitchen.   "Hey boss-lady," she said. "How'd everything go with the Sunmi and the lawyer?"   "I think it went well," Jennie said. "He's drawing up some papers for Ji-Hoon to sign, waiving his parental rights in exchange for Sunmi not seeking child support. Sunmi's at her parents' house right now, telling them the news."   Chaeyoung nodded. "Hopefully some good news will help smooth over things with them."   "Hopefully so," Jennie agreed. "You need anything down here?"   Chaeyoung shook her head. "I'm good. I've just got to put this bread in the oven and then it'll be lunch time."   "Sounds good," Jennie said. "I'm going to go find Lisa and see how her morning went."   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   Lisa was in the laundry room, putting sheets in the dryer and towels in the washer, when Jennie found her and caught her up in a back hug.   "Hey Sweetie!" Jennie said, going up on tiptoes to kiss Lisa on the back of the neck.   Lisa spun
