Virginia was humming slightly to herself, and looking through her wedding magazines. She looked up every so often to make sure that no one was coming after her.

She didn't care what Wolf said. She wasn't going to be paranoid. She wasn't going to hide. She was going to live her life, deranged weirdos or not.

She was, however, going to be careful, and aware of her surroundings.

Which, honestly, wasn't much different from what a single woman had to do in New York, biking to and from work alone and all.

A blonde woman at a nearby table looks up, turns in Virginia's direction with a:

"Hi, Wolf... oh." and trails off, embarrassed.

Virginia started and looked at her in confusion.

"Wolf...is my mat--fiance," she said, thoroughly confused. She tilted her head. "How'd you...?"

Angua gives a friendly smile and comes over to join the other woman.

"His scent is all over you," she explains, quietly but unashamedly, offering a hand. "I'm Angua."

"Are you...have you got some sort of really good sense of smell?" she asked, shaking Angua's hand.

It did not surprise her at all that Wolf's smell was over her, and that she smelled more like Wolf than like Virginia. This was because Wolf was usually all over her. Every night. Enthusiastically. And she was equally enthusastic about it.

Which made it slightly embarassing that someone could smell something like that, but then it didn't, because she was getting some and it was good, so who cared?

"Are you part-wolf like Wolf is?"

Angua shakes her head.

"I'm a werewolf," she says frankly.

"That'll do it," Virginia said, eyes wide. "...Wait, are you Angua?"

Angua replays the last few moments of conversation in her head.

"Yes. Yes, I am," she says.

"It's nice to meet you," Virginia said with a smile. "Wolf's told me about you. He--well, when we both settle in at night he tells me about just about everyone he's met during the day."

Angua smiles back. "It's nice to meet you too, um..." she pauses for a name.

"Virginia Lewis." She took in Angua's clothes. "Are you some kind of warrior or something?"

Angua smiles. "I'm a Policeman, actually. Ankh-Morpork City Watch.

"It must be nice to have your fiance here. My boyfriend doesn't even know about this place, and I forget it once I'm gone."

"Every time? You forget?" Virginia asked, wide-eyed. She looked around. "Wow. This is a pretty unforgettable place, too..."

Angua nods. "You're telling me. My boss and a colleague have been here too, and neither of them have ever mentioned it."

She sighs. "It's a shame, because I'd love Carrot to see this place."

"Maybe he'll show up. Wolf didn't expect me to show up and here I am. For me...for me I missed him for a month--worst month of my life," Virginia said adamantly.

"Well, luckily I can go home to him at any time," Angua replies. "I just can't tell him about Milliways."

She pauses, and looks down at Virginia's belly. "Congratulations, by the way."

"Thanks." She beamed. "Although...it was a bit of a surprise. But it was a very nice surprise."

"I never believe women who say they plan for them," Angua says, cheerily.
