And now Haddie's here to be angry with me again... Much as she tried, Ailsa wasn't able to feel sorry for herself. Instead, she just kept going back to how it must feel to think someone knew and hadn't said.
"I'm sorry Haddie. I really am. But think of how incredible it is now! There's so much to learn, so much you can do! Why be upset over the past when the future's so fantastic?" There's a pause, then, "and you probably can't turn the hat into a diaper. I'm sure it's protected."
Well, she'd given it her best shot, even if she had foolishly gone into a technicality at the end. It'd be up to her cousin to pull out of the funk from here. Obligations covered she turned to Rachel.
"Hi Rachel, sorry for weirding out on the train. You and Gary must think I'm a complete nutter now."
