“She’s with her husband, Cormac MacKenzie. She lives with him in sixteenth century Scotland.” Dylan eyed her over the rim of his coffee cup.

“Oh! So, she’s a time traveler!” Sara exclaimed, glancing around the room to make sure she hadn’t drawn anyone’s attention and then lowering her voice to a whisper. “That’s kind of why I’m here,” Sara stated with a bit of hesitation in her voice. She wasn’t sure she should be telling them this, at least not until after she’d spoken with Edna.

“We know,” Maggie said. “My Auntie Edna is aware of why ye’ve come to visit with us.”

Sara became very self-conscious, her face turning a bright red.

“Don’t be embarrassed. She’s used to people seeking her help. Whether she can give it or not is another question all together.”

Sara’s worst fears came crashing through her head. Edna wasn’t going to help her. She’d come all this way for nothing. She’d never see Logan again. She fought back the tears that came to her eyes and grabbing her napkin wiped them away. “I think the smoke from the fire is making me teary,” she said.

“We can move to another table if ye like,” Maggie suggested.

“No. It’s okay. I’ll get used to it. Besides, it’s nice and warm here.” Sara focused on her food, taking a huge spoonful of chocolate mousse and forcing herself to eat. “Mmmm… This is delicious.”

“Thanks,” Dylan said. “Sara, don’t worry. If Edna can help you, she will.”

Sara’s lips turned up in a half-hearted smile. She turned her attention to finishing her dinner and thoughts of what meeting Edna would be like.
