Lynn leaves her to it! She'll bring a book of her own, next time, but for right now she'll just make a mental list of all of the things she'll need to get if Astrid stays. A bed, clothes, toys, a dresser - kids are expensive. Lynn is very glad she has savings.

(Quietly, Lynn wonders if her heart will break a second time if Astrid's parents are found. Maybe she'll end up hating them if they show up, for no other reason than taking away the adorable little prodigy. She doesn't know yet.)
