Alright, that's more like a sticky note of a chapter 3 rewrite that got it from 1,351 to about 1,006 words, which...alright fine. Should still be fine, and I know I'm going to wind up redoing this chapter.

Anyway. I didn't really write a thing so much as tape a note to the doc of something that was already written. But Chapter 3 is done for now, so...ha.
I guess...sticky note as proof of work? (idk man, it's likely to change but wth)

Her grin flipped in a second, neck and shoulders tensing at the mere mention. My hands flew up in defense. “Nevermind.”
“I…need your help.”
Well. Curiosity piqued.
“Alrighty then,” I said, reaching for my hat. “Hop in and let’s get out of here before they figure out the door.”
His hat can turn into a portal.
