The last of what Ayden said elicited a small snort of laughter from the environmentalist. Funny as it sounded, it was a pretty accurate statement. Fortunately, she knew of at least two people now that could take her seriously when speaking of such things. Perhaps she would have said three, but something told her Ivan probably still thought her a little crazy. Oh, he didn’t go out and say it, but she could see his skepticism. Still, thinking of him warmed her a little more than the coffee had.
Taking a sip from her drink, Zoya mulled over what Ayden said about her boyfriend’s son. The more Ayden mentioned others, the more she clung to a sense of relief. “The first time anything odd happened to me, my little brother fell off a tree into the river. I thought he’d broken a leg, and he had drowned, but after I did CPR on him, when I looked at the leg again it was fine. I thought I had imagined it in my panic.
I didn’t actually see anything in the river tonight, besides the one boy. They were all very fortunate you were there. I have a few more questions, but I’m not sure just how much to say in public like this. I can give you my number, and we can talk more in depth then? Maybe teach me a little?”
