*nodnods* And I wouldn't mind so much fiction that showed _all_ of it _including_ this. But...could one of the characters not do it or be awkward? Could someone push back, or hesitate, or ask the woman if she's okay with it? Or could she tell them all to stop snooping and if there's news she'll share it when she wants? Or if the latter would tac-nuke things, can we see her bitching about it to a close friend later?
