The mention of making stools out of "thin air" made Joanie snort. She sure would like to do that. But she decided not to press the issue. Ella could know that she could do something, but she wasn't about to let the other woman in on all her secrets. The mention of watching people with mirrors, however, made her pause. "Wait. Somebody can do that?" she asked, raising a brow. That sounded like the setup for the creepiest porn ever.
She half-laughed as she suggested that the entire building ended up on the doorstep of this "Daniel" person. "Oh yeah? Well now I know where to hang out if I ever want to mix and mingle," she said with a laugh. When she mentioned Micah getting involved in that, she bit back the desire to say that Micah ends up everywhere, like herpes. Instead, she just nodded at the mention of Luther. "That's cool," she said lightly.
The description of the doctor made her nervous. After all, she had no idea who this guy was, and the way he was secretive? That had to spell out trouble. She was about to ask further questions when the villagers passed. She'd have given her right arm to understand what they were saying, and hunched nervously on the stool as they passed. Her hand slipped into her pocket, clasping around the knife she carried. When they didn't stop and left out of earshot, she looked to Ella with an ashen expression.
"I was there yesterday," she said quietly. "The stables. Sam and I got dragged there." She paused. "Why would they be talking about the stables? They're boring and full of horses."
