Ask about Charlie

You ask about Charlie.

“What about her?” Layla raises an eyebrow.

“Is she… like you?”

“What?” Layla blinks, and for the first time since the talk began she starts to laugh. “Oh. OH! You think?” Her laughing gets stronger, the mature woman’s cheeks turning red. “No!”

“Oh,” Ethan would have put money on that one. “You… sure?”

“Well…” Layla smacks her lips. “She’s a special case.”

“Special?” You wonder how she could be a special case among a town full of them.

“Her sister, twin sister I might add, is like me.”

“WHAT?!” Ethan would have put money on Ashley not being one.

Layla chuckles. “Yes, seems a bit weird doesn't it?”

“You’re telling me.”

“There’s a bit of a theory, well, calling it a theory gives it too much credit, but…” she scratches her chin. “People in the know think Ashley got the physical bits, and Charlie got the mental. I don’t put much stock in it. Charlie can be every bit as girly as her sister.”

Ethan raises a brow. “Are we talking about the same Charlie?”

“We are,” Layla smiles, offering Ethan a small wink. “If you’re lucky, you might see it for yourself one day.”

Ethan would love to meet Bigfoot as well, but doubts either will happen.
