Meg knows that she is going to have to deal with Roe-bear McCrory, somehow, and soon. Parker and Laura are right about that.

Right now, though, all Meg wants is to get out and away. She'll deal with the rest of it later.

Somehow.

It's easy enough to leave the ladies' room by the door opposite the one she came in through, to take the other staircase down and out, to go anywhere but the library.

Meg doesn't even look back as leaves.

If she had, she might have noticed that the door to the end of the universe did not completely close behind her.

Parker really doesn't expect to feel so calm about what she and Laura are about to do.

Oh, there's still wrath aplenty, bubbling under the surface. And--if she were to be honest--a little thread of glee. This guy has been creeping Meg out for weeks. Parker finds, in a primal, about-to-kick-ass way, that she is looking forward to nipping Roe-bear's little crush in the bud.

Or, you know. Wherever else it might hurt.

The calm, though, probably comes from the company she's in.

"Okay," Parker says, quietly, as they step from Milliways into the deserted ladies room. One door is still swinging closed. "That must be the one Meg left through. Which means Roe-bear is going to be through that one."

"I say we invite him in for a chat."
