"You're not like your cousins. I noticed that from tonight- No offence to them but... I don't know, there's something different," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. "So what have you been doing? Lying on a beach? I'm quite jealous, I look pasty next to you."
Allison snorted in amusement. "Don't worry I didn't think I was of high importance to the Ministry. Nice to know you don't want me to die after all the effort you went to to keep me alive."
"You can?" She sighed, brushing her hair out of her face. "This all seems so... Elaborate. Final. You know? If I do this then I can't go back and I can't do that until I know I can live here, make money here... I'm well off in my world, enough so that I can live in London and bring up my child."
