Pam had found some kind of peace with Harley-not-Harley; the store had been cleansed of all of its chemical bullshit, their stocks replaced with Adrian's Blackwood products. Frankly, she had better things to do with this quiet than to run an actual storefront, most of her attention drawn to the samples upstairs in her newly-restored laboratory.

But she'd been working on that all evening, and had little progress to show for it. She woke up exhausted. She needed something to soothe her nerves.

So she went downstairs, to check on the garden. And while she was there, she might as well flip the 'Open' sign, to help put a little money in Adrian's family's pockets. She was sympathetic to their issues, even if she wasn't a fan of the economics involved.

But all that done, she vanished back into the garden. She'd spend most of her time planting new little green things, and tending to the soil.

It really was soothing.
