Another Me - Your number has been called!

EFFY: But!
EFFY: But if we’re very polite, he’s not going to kick us out!
CLOVER: ... Ya sure about that?
EFFY: Um, I guess he might if he were alone... He does seem kind of... shy?
CLOVER: Shy ain’t the word--
EFFY: But Selena is there, and so is Mr. Beauregard!
CARLA: ... Okay. I’m going to help you both.

CLOVER: You just wanna spy on ‘em too, don’t ya?
CARLA: I didn’t even know he had a sister!

> Effy: Pick a really excellent time to carry out your good plan.



Minutes later, you have amassed enough snacks to determine that you’ve GOT this. Cheese? You’ve got it. Crackers? Right here. Ham? You’re pretty sure French people love ham.

Surely you’ll be able to at least catch the gist of whatever they were discussing. Time to step forward and—

AUBIN: Ah, you’ve brought refreshments? How kind of you!
EFFY & CARLA: Eek!
AUBIN: Our discussion is just about over, fortunately.
AUBIN: After all, you wouldn’t want to eavesdrop.

Thanks for your readership and your patience, especially if you're keeping up with the comic exclusively through the forum thread or the MSPFA mirror. I posted about it on my social media last month and will not go into detail here, but basically, the back half of April and first half of May were very rough on me, emotionally speaking, so I'm trying very hard not to beat myself up for how long this update took, haha.

This scene is just about over, so feel free to get inventive with suggestions! In addition, there should only be one more scene or so left in this chapter, so... I guess we'll see what happens next!
