Sunmi had just gotten settled in at the desk when she remembered something she needed to do. Taking the phone with her, she headed down to the kitchen. She saw Jisoo, who was busily cutting up vegetables, but no sign of Chaeyoung. She waited quietly for Jisoo to notice her - the last thing she wanted to do was startle someone who was using an obviously very sharp knife. After a couple of minutes, Jisoo looked up and turned toward her.   "Oh, Sunmi," she said, "I didn't hear you come down! Do you need something?"   "Actually, I was looking for Chaeyoung-sunbae," Sunmi said, suddenly nervous about what she had to do.   "She's in the pantry," Jisoo said, pointing the way with her knife. "If you hurry you can catch her before she gets too deep into her notebooks."   "Thanks Jisoo," Sunmi said, hurrying toward the pantry.   As Sunmi rounded the corner into the pantry, Chaeyoung apparently heard her and looked up from the notebooks she was juggling, trying to read in one while writing in another and looking things up in a third. "Sunmi," Chaeyoung said, putting her pen and looking up from the notebooks, "what can I do for you?"   Sunmi suddenly realized she'd probably done this the wrong way around - she should have talked to Chaeyoung before inviting Hansol for lunch. Well, too late to undo it, all she could do was to press onward. "Chaeyoung," she said with a bow, "I'm sorry - I should have talked to you before this - I invited Kim Hansol to stop in for lunch if he's ever near the lodge around lunchtime, because we won't be having time off until after New Year's and I wanted to see him again, and I'm sorry I didn't talk to you first and here's 50,000 won to help pay for the food he eats." The last part of this was said in a rush as she stepped forward and put the bills on the table next to Chaeyoung's notebooks.   It took Chaeyoung a moment to decipher Sunmi's rush of words. She blinked as her brain caught up. She picked up the money and held it out to Sunmi. "You don't have to do this - if I can't manage to feed an extra person at lunch, I might as well hang up my knives and hand the kitchen over to Jisoo."   Sunmi shook her head, making no move take the money back. "I know how tight money is for Jennie-sunbae right now. I want to do my part to help. If I'm going to invite a friend over for lunch, I should pay for the food they eat."   Chaeyoung recognized that Sunmi's pride wouldn't let her take the money back, but at the same time she didn't want to accept money from a single mother-to-be who was only working part-time. "Tell you what," she said, "I'll keep this," she folded up the money and put it in her apron pocket, "and I'll use it if I need to. And whatever I don't need, I'll give back to you at the end of the season and you can use it for the baby."   Sunmi nodded. "So long as you promise you'll use it if you need it, that sounds fair."   "I promise," Chaeyoung said. "Now, you'd better get back to the front desk before Jennie thinks you've abandoned your post."   With one last murmured thanks, Sunmi turned and rushed out of the kitchen, remembering to call out "Behind you!" when she walked behind Jisoo.   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   Lisa closed and locked the door to cabin 3 and started up the path to cabin 4. She stopped for a moment to look around. It was a beautiful day - the sun was shining brightly, reflecting off the snow, and the air was crisp and clean. Looking up the hillside, she saw a purple diamond on one of the trees next to the trail. She thought back to last winter when she and Dahyun had taken off up that trail for what was supposed to be a one-day hike. And then during the course of the next 48 hours she discovered she was gay, got into and out of a relationship with Dahyun, and realized she was in love with Jennie. She sighed. Things were so much simpler then. No questions about babies. No thoughts about the future beyond the end of the season. She shook her head and moved on down the trail.   "You'll never get done if you stand here woolgathering," she said to herself.   "Woolgathering?" asked a voice behind her. "Is that even a thing? Wouldn't you need sheep?"   Lisa spun around. "Dahyun! What are you doing here?"   Dahyun rushed forward and swept Lisa up in a hug. "I was just missing all my friends at Fire Lodge, and I had some time free, so I decided to come up for a couple of nights. I arranged the whole thing with Sunmi Monday evening - and apparently she was true to her word and kept it a secret. I know you've got the Japanese bigwigs showing up on Friday, so I'll be gone Thursday morning."   "Oh. . . wow. . . I. . . um. . ." Lisa was so surprised by the sudden presence of Dahyun that she found herself almost literally speechless.   "Now unless I'm mistaken," Dahyun said, putting her arm around Lisa's shoulders, "you were about to go do something official and assistant managerial up in cabin 4." She started walk
