Leaning against the desk in the front lobby, Sarah watched Nathan as he quietly paced, something he had been doing since they met up in the lobby to wait for Claire to come down so they could leave. For the Pits, these unexplainable phenomena that were healing people even now, and had been for two and some weeks.
"Are you ready for this?" she asked.
Pausing in mid-stride, then turning the pause into a halt entirely, Nathan ran a hand through his hair and looked at Sarah. "Does it matter if I am?"
"Of course it does," she said, pushing away from the desk and coming to stand next to him so she could squeeze his arm. "If you think this isn't something she should do, she'll listen to you."
Nathan shook his head, straightening up. "No, I'm ready. She needs this. She deserves to have a chance at being as normal as we can be 'normal'. I've researched it and the people who've used it, I've done everything including look for fine print on the ground around these Pits. There's no catch I can see."
Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Sarah turned to see if it was Claire.
