You could simply put a metal bowl over a pan. Keeps the heat more even, is all. Just fill the bottom with two or three inches of water.
[ What normal conversation! Like nothing at all happened, but it very much did. Even if Mary is also very accustomed to bouncing back or even barrelling on ahead when needed, her worst expectations make it a struggle to accept the ease with which Will cooperates. At least she accepts it more than she had with Sherlock (by his design).
Abigail sounds like an abrupt topic shift while Mary is still circling around Will's lack of relevant questions, but the girl never seems to be that far from his thoughts. It doesn't help put Mary at ease (why ask now?), but it's an answer she can give fairly. If she wished, she could cut all affection out of her voice, but that wouldn't help her any. She's fond of Abigail, and pretending she isn't won't charm Will Graham any. ]
Not really, unless you count her box of Cheez-Its getting stale in the pantry.
[ There's a further moment of considering before she shrugs and adds on while measuring out the white chocolate, keeping Will in her peripheral all the while. There's no hurry, as the cupcakes are still baking. ]
I found a hair elastic of hers when cleaning one of the guest rooms last month. ...Why?
