:::Something clicked but it only moved closer to the tip of her tounge... knowing the name from history made sense but Cora hadn't gone to the library to study the name... why would she... that had to be it... why...?:::

Luana's face fell. The last of the sleep had left her. "Yes. He's been developing that for some time now, though we don't call it early in my time. Why do you ask?"

Luana slowly moved from behind the bar to the nearest chair.
"Andy... So he really is coming here. Two sightings. Now I know for certain," she said softly.

Sightings... have you seen him here?

"I've known him my whole life. We were born the same day, grew up together... He is my project partner, my best friend, and closer than most of my family." She turned and looked at Cora. "Luke told me before that he saw him here, but somehow I convinces myself that that visit was just one of my dreams, or he was from too far ahead to talk to but now..." She smiled. Now I can tell him everything.
