Left in the laundromat in a basket is a beeswax candle, a jar of beeswax and orange hand cream, and a little tub of beeswax and vanilla lip balm. Taped to the basket is a note that says, I hope you enjoy your pot of gold.

Vivienne inspected the offering, turning the basket around and around and tutting at its condition under her exacting eye, inspecting each item inside it. Sniffing at each product, tapping the lip balm with her fingertip and then tapping her fingers together. Then she sighed, reminding herself, "They've made do with what's available. This is the new reality," and carried her basket of goods off home, deserting the task she'd gone to the laundry to do.
