Late the next morning, Ember woke still feeling tired and sore from her adventures snooping around Lyndsy’s house the night before. She lingered a while in bed, watching the clock on her bedside table inch closer to the time she would need to depart for work, wondering if she should even bother opening up the pub today. It’s not like they would be getting enough customers to make it worth her while.

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself,” Kali chided her, pouncing up onto Ember’s sternum in a way that knocked some of the breath out of her with a guttural oof. “Tell your staff they’ve got the day off, that you can handle the current customer stream yourself, and designate one of them--maybe not Lyndsy, all things considered--to be on call. Then pick yourself up and head into work.”

“And just hang around an empty shop all day? That sounds fun,” she said, but she knew she was being petulant. She was already shifting Kali off of her and onto the duvet and sitting up in bed.

“Bring a book,” Kali advised. “You know I have several recommendations to add to your to-read pile.”

Ember smiled. She’d already read more philosophy books at Kali’s suggestion than she could really wrap her mind around. Maybe it was time to revisit Lolly Willowes.
