• Something about Fiona feels off. Her smile is strained, and when I try to poke at her mind, she has her mental shield up. She hasn’t put that up much with me recently, but maybe all this is a bit much. I don’t like seeing her standing so stiff and acting like nothing is wrong when clearly there is something.
• We greet the next couple who offers us congratulations for our pregnancy, and as the woman presses a little pouch into Fiona’s hand, I feel another shift in the air. I may not be able to get into her head, but I can tell she is tense. Her scent tells me she’s worried but trying to hide it.
