I woke up the next day expecting—oh, I don't know, doom, disaster, and Apocalypse; weirder things had happened in this town. But things seemed normal enough, even after I left the house and headed off to the day job. The one not-so-great thing that happened was that when I got to Common Grounds, guess who was there?

Gloriana. Deep in conversation with about a half dozen admirers. She'd picked one of the tables in the darker section of the room, far away from the blazing sunlight, and at first I thought all her new groupies were vamps, but no, some of them were definitely still rocking a pulse. A couple of them were college boys, complete with the ubiquitous backpacks. I was pretty sure one of them was Monica Morrell's future ex-boyfriend, what's-his-name, the football player. Oooh, the fur would fly if Monica dropped in and saw her current squeeze crushing on the New Girl.

I was kind of hoping for that, but no such luck. Gloriana hung out for hours, laughing and talking, ordering regular rounds of whatever.

When she finally left, I saw Oliver watching her with a troubled look on his face. "Boss?" I asked. "Something wrong?"

"No," he said. "No, I don't think so. Not yet, at any rate."

No matter how much extra effort I put into customer service, he wouldn't elaborate, and that bothered me because (a) Oliver was pretty free with his criticisms for the most part, and (b) it wasn't like him to look worried. Ever.

No Apocalypse had been declared by the end of my shift, though.

I supposed that qualified as a win.
