[ Mallory is in New York on a field trip with Gene's history class. They're doing American history at the moment, and somehow he convinced the board to let them go see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Mallory signed up to be a chaperon quickly, thinking it would be great to get to spend time with Gene that didn't involve grading papers and talking about lesson plans, but they've barely spoken the whole trip. He's been too busy making googly eyes at that Tabby kid. How anyone else has missed that relationship is beyond Mallory, but she doesn't know what to do because Tabby's clearly making googly eyes back. Instead of thinking about it, or how jealous she is, or anything like that, Mallory has found herself in a bar far away from the hotel, tossing back shots and contemplating bringing a one night stand home for the night. ]
