Panel 1: Sara and Ray sit behind the desk at the bookstore. They both have a cup of coffee. Ray's saying, "So, your roommate moved out... You found a new place, but the people are weird. And William left you. I was never fond of him, by the way. And, because all that wasn't nearly enough turmoil, you quit your job."

Panel 2: Sara, in a panel with a plain black background, replies, "Pretty much."

Panel 3: Ray says, "And you figured old Ray will give you your job back," as Sara holds her cup of coffee and looks down.

Panel 4: Ray continues, "Even though you haven't so much as said 'hi' in what -- almost a year?"

Panel 5: Sara says, "Sorry..." and Ray replies, "I'm just messing with you! Mostly."
