   Summary

   Nancy knows how she’s supposed to feel. She’s studied it, turned it over, tried to fit herself into it...but it never quite sticks.
   Robin knows what she’s supposed to do. There’s a right way to move this forward, she’s sure of it...but she keeps screwing it up.
   They’re both trying to get it right before time runs out and the other realizes something’s missing.
   They just don’t realize they’ve been on the same page all along...
