Finished revisions on a chapter over the holiday "break"--it was more work than I thought it would be, but had written it in summer of 2020, so I guess I should have expected it to be rough & full of "I'll forgive myself for these missing citations later" type shit.

Here are my goofs—she was inexplicably trying to be near him today…not sure if to troll him, steal his spot, or try to snuggle. He was unhappy—swatted her & made lunges as if to bite her. But she was kinda unbothered! Hence the big yawn!
