Bramblepoint same place, different time

For some reason unknown to her, Towhee's mind kept drifting to Étoille for several days following their chance encounter. But as May wore into June and Finley's pregnancy advanced, the Xi forgot about the handsome stranger entirely and focused on preparing herself for big sisterhood. She patrolled more thoroughly than ever and even spent some extra time with Raven, asking her dozens of questions about being a caregiver.

She did not forget about her rendezvous with Hydra. She had been looking for her when she had run into Étoille, after all.
