[Abigail is suddenly struck by the errant thought that she should have brought snacks. This is looking like it might turn into a long conversation.]

[She listens carefully to the explanation. It all seems incredibly complicated until the last thing Elena says, the final point, which makes her stomach feel all of a sudden like an icy pit.]
