Fog Heart
“After Carrie met Scott Crawford, she decided to wait a day or two before doing anything, to think about it some more. She wasn’t sure quite what to make of him. Crawford believed in parapsychology and the paranormal, he took Carrie seriously, and he had been helpful. But he’d also tried to discourage her.
He was probably right. You could get your hopes up too high and spend a lot of money for nothing. It could turn into an unhealthy obsession, an endless quest that never pans out. Scott wanted ...her to understand that. Fair enough.
The suggestion that these experiences could have their roots in a personal matter, that it could all be in her head, still bothered Carrie. It had to mean some sexual problem between her and Oliver or, even less likely, something between her and Daddy dating back to childhood.
Carrie could understand why Crawford considered this angle, but it was wrong. It had no basis in fact, so it could not be an explanation for the apparitions she’d witnessed. Her father was a fine and honourable man who had never done anything improper in his diplomatic career, let alone with Carrie.MoreLess
