Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

Apparently, Emily had slacked off here as well, so Will was forced to do his own laundry as well. The gall!

"She was hurting. She tried to wall herself off."

"Part of her did, that is. Another part of her reached out to... an unlikely source," she says with a faint, cryptic smile.
