In This Night We Own (The Commander book 6)
““The Life of Crows”
Gail Rickenbach: September 8, 1968 – September 13, 1968 “Sylvie? Can I grab a moment of your time?”
Sylvie was leaving the house with a plate of hot dogs and baked beans, and enjoying the perfect late-summer evening cool-down. Gail caught her as she came down the stairs of the front porch.
“Sure,” she said. “What’s up?” Sylvie’s tone was careful and controlled, almost formal. Gail sort-of read Sylvie’s mind as Sylvie mentally said a quick prayer wishing for... no more juice experimentation sessions.
Gail winced inside. Sylvie had been her best friend once, and it hurt that she could think of no way to bring the friendship back. After Gail made up with Reverend Narbanor she had regained a little of her former closeness with Sylvie, but the painful experimentation sessions Sylvie volunteered for had opened up the distance between them again. Van counseled patience, but he didn’t understand. After her transformation, Gail felt as if she lived on borrowed time. Everything happened far too quickly, and in the process she was drifting away from Van, Sylvie, and Sylvie’s husband Kurt. They would lose each other soon, if she couldn’t find a way to tie everyone back together. Her research team idea had worked for research, but hadn’t rekindled any of their friendships in a lasting fashion.MoreLess
