Charlene emptied her glass and finished her last piece of bread, then snatched another piece to go. It wasn't right that she could feel her ribs, and an old appetite she hadn't been able to indulge for years was coming back to her now. She took a bite and stood up, deciding to do like the others and explore her surroundings.

Walking quietly, almost sneaking by pure habit, she set out down a corridor. Talmage had mentioned books, or maybe there were some other interesting things to stir her memories or catch her interest.


[She'd no doubt be interested in the summer sports section too, but I'll just have her wander randomly in case you have some interesting section for her to stumble into that hasn't been mentioned yet]
