I nod at Wanda's comment. Noma does seem so comfortable at the abbey, though I can't remember having seen her here before. Rose seems fascinated with her, too.

Wanda blinks at me when I ask about the tea shoppe, but she doesn't sound upset when she asks me what I've heard. For a moment I'm not sure how to answer without making things terribly awkward, but then she's telling Noma about being the gossip mill, which is quite true.

"Just that you've been doing some...redecorating." And I grin to show her it doesn't matter one bit to me what she does in her basement. "Now, do you have any juicy tidbits of information I should know about?"
