"Of course." He glanced at her. "I'm not the only one who's noticed. You've gained a little weight back."

"Well, she would want updates on how her daughrers are doing. Makes sense that Tomhas would write to Anneke."

(Good god)

Gaius glanced at her thoughtfully. "I don't think anyone could miss how much weight you've lost. But you've got a few weeks between now and then, haven't you? Don't push yourself too hard or you'll actually get sick."
