Greta turns around, and blushes a little at all the attention.

"Yeah. Are you guys still fighting whoever sent the plague, that you're all up here?"

Something Donna said dawns on here even as she asks, and she turns to Donna. "It's Thanksgiving?"

Greta stops. She wants to see Ma and let her know she's okay, and she wants to see her friends, but...

"How long was I- I mean, how long has it been since-?" Greta looks from Donna to Kory, unable to finish. the sentence.

"About a week, sweetheart. Maybe a day or two more than that." More quietly. "I understand. If you need to be someplace more quiet then I'll get you a plate and have Mrs. Hunkle and whoever else will help come to you, all right?"

Greta shakes her head slowly, wrapping her mind around the shift in time. A week? She was gone for a week, with everyone thinking she was gone for good?

"No, thank you. I want to see Ma and my friends, and let them know I'm okay."
