"Between you and me, I'm kind of hoping it is," Molly replies, lowering her voice just a little as she speaks, her nose wrinkling. She's decided against finding out before now, and she knows she'll be happy — or as happy as she can be — regardless, but she likes the idea of having a girl, thinks it might come a little more easily to her. At this rate, she's going to need all the help she can get. "But I guess I'll find out soon. I'm sorry to hear that your kids aren't here with you, that's got to be rough." In fact, now that she's going to be a parent herself, it's one of the most difficult scenarios she can imagine, but if Jessica isn't going to make too much of it, then she doesn't think she should, either. It's not really her place to, anyway, and there's plenty else at hand to talk about.
In response to Jessica's question, she shakes her head. "They're the same time as the mayoral election, so the end of March," she explains. "So you'd have a little over six months if you do decide to run. I've seen people here pull together city council campaigns in less time, and you'd have the beginnings of a platform already." It's exciting, really, the idea of someone not from Darrow running for office. She's liked most of the people she's worked with, has found that she fits in well, but that doesn't change the fact that she's something of an odd one out when it comes to her background.
