— but she did reply to my network post today, and we're going bowling. [ Jen ought to have kept her mouth shut, but she was going to bring up the trip anyway and Lina would have seen things then. best to be up-front about it to cut off the possibility of giving any false expectations. (like she hasn't just done that?) ]
