I isolated myself enough today to check the mold circumference, which has spread to a whopping 5 centimeters. The teeth marks are practically black at this point which means I really must keep it hidden. I am eating now silently across from her at a smokeless campfire, looking very guilty, but hopefully she will think that that is from refusing her yesterday. I will apologize now.
