I have imagined that there WAS a visit of some kind with Shadow, but moved our characters ahead. Melody, Josiah AND Tiffany all go to Vineyard Church; for once, Jeno is put outside in the secure walled yard. With Tiffany staying in the sanctuary, Melody wants to get outside for air. She and Josiah go out--and run into Sam, who had come with Glenda and met Ranjit by surprise.
Do you remember, when you first introduced Vineyard Church in that roleplay, that you said a woman could sit on a man's lap there? I had Ranjit use that custom with Glenda!
