Of course she did.

[She seems like the kind of girl who probably would have picked something much closer to home if she didn't have a reason to be in a city so far from Purgatory.]

We can discuss it with her at Christmas. Give her some time to think about her options.

[cowman]

I would not want to leave her alone in the city.

( Even if it were Wynonna and Waverly staying back. )

[likeaweapon]

[She nods.]

Then perhaps that will be the decision then. If I Alice wishes to stay, then so will we. If not, then we go to New Orleans.

[It can be that simple, if both people are willing.]

[cowman]

That is a compromise we can all live with.

( And in either case, he ends up in a different tax bracket. )

[likeaweapon]

Good.

[She sighs dramatically.]

Though if we're going to be moving, that's going to put my other thoughts for the new year on hold.

[cowman]

Please share any and all thoughts of the New Year and beyond.

( He wants to hear them all. )

[She smiles at him as they sway on the floor.]

I was maybe thinking it was time to give Henry another sibling. Perhaps one closer to his age?

[cowman]

( His wife glows on any regular day, but tonight, under the lights of the chandelier, like this. )

We could start tonight.

[likeaweapon]

Not sure I want to be heavily pregnant and also trying to move house.

[So they should at least delay until they have a date as to when the moving will be happening. But the corner of her mouth will quirk up with a smile.]

But we could certainly practice.

[cowman]

Practice does make perfect.

( She gives her a slow spin and they come back together. )
