Chapter 310: Alice Moore

"Fee, can I talk to you a moment?"

I hadn't seen much of Alice Moore the last few months, but that didn't mean much. Life was so busy, running into old acquaintances I considered friends happened less frequently than expected, even in such a small town as Reading. The young, self-proclaimed medium looked great, happier than ever, her slightly-on-the-skinny-side body looking more muscular than emaciated these days, her beaming smile at least boding well for the nature of her requested conversation. I felt tension leave me when I registered her upbeat mood and nodded a welcome, wondering what had gotten into me that a polite request to chat put my back up at all.

Sheesh, Fee. Not every talk had to be bad news.
