Sarah held her hand.
“You and I are going to be friends,” she said. “Your energy pulls to mine. I’m going to be your new best friend here in the village.”
Gabby’s eyes lit up.
She missed having friends, and when she tried to make new ones, people thought she was fake.
Apparently, Americans were ‘too friendly’, and it seemed like bullshit.
Gaining a new friend…
That sounded like a good thing.
“Really?”
She nodded.
“We share the same birthday. It was meant to be,” she said, winking at her. “We’re both Aquarians.”
Gabby giggled for the first time since finding out she had lost her baby.
Know who didn’t find this amusing?
“Oh, Finn, stop worrying. We were twelve, and I had five other boyfriends. Now, I prefer women. You’ve a better chance of losing your woman to me than your secrets,” she offered, winking.
He sputtered.
“Five?” he asked.
Gabby actually laughed.
“That’s the part that you picked out of the whole sentence?” his fiancée asked. “Not that she knew you were thinking that or that she has the hots for me?”
He shrugged.
“I mean, she’s got good taste,” he teased, seeing Gabby cheering up.
This had been a good plan to distract her.
“And he was my first kiss,” she said.
Finn grinned like he’d accomplished something, but Sarah shut that down.
“No, I meant him,” she offered, pointing at Graham.
That made Graham laugh, but when he opened his mouth, his best friend pointed.
“I dare ya, Laddie. Go ahead. I’ll be telling all the tales of your youth to your husband if you say shit.”
Michael looked excited about that.
Graham did not.
Now that the introductions were done, Sarah looked around.
“This place is filthy with spirits,” she said, rubbing her arms. “They all want to communicate.”
Well, that was good for them.
