Had I even been in the bathroom this morning? If Iwas glad of being held for one reason it was because I was feeling dizzytrying to figure out the cau...ality of Melinda's spells.He must have mistook my flushed, dizzy features for attraction, for hisgrin became a bit more sultry and seductive before he spoke again."Trying to get into the club?" he asked infuriatingly, both because it wasobvious what we were trying to do and because there was some hintin his tone that we either didn't belong in. “Oh, I see…well just what did you have in mind, Lexi?” I answered, in as disinterested a tone as I could muster, and concentrated on steadying my voice.“Well, I’m not too sure yet, but one thing I want you to promise is not to tell anyone else, especially your nieces!” she insisted. “I don’t want them to get mad at me for telling you about what they said and all…”“That’s fine with me, Lexi, it will be our little secret,” I assured her, and she smiled up at me. She stepped toward me and. She looked through the contacts on her phone when there was a tap on her arm. “Claire?” Claire turned round quickly to see an attractive young woman with long, dark hair greeting her. The woman’s face was etched with anticipation. For a second or two Claire was at a loss and then the penny dropped. “Oh my God! Tanya!” Claire jumped up and gave the woman a huge hug. “I can’t believe it, I thought you’d moved abroad,” said Claire, holding Tanya’s hand affectionately. “I did. But now I’m back. You. Not necessarily. I'm from a parallel universe. It differs slightly from yours in a few key aspects." She looks at me with her big saphire blue eyes. "Oh, And what are these key aspects?" I stare into hers. "Well, The most crucial, And Probably most easily noticable, Is that cross-species reproduction is possible. As you can see I'm a living testament." She puts on a big smile. "Well, I probably still wouldn't have guessed it, Anything else?" I rub my burn, Noticing that it will probably leave.
