"Pula River?"
"Yeah."
"What for?"
"Picnic and coin toss."
"A picnic in winter? Tossing a coin in Pula? You believe that myth?"
"Why not?"
Ivory Kelana put a box of fruit pieces into the lunch basket that Aaron had prepared. She looked at her partner, who was having difficulty stuffing his arms into a long black coat stuck to his shoulders. Ivory smiled and walked over to Aaron. With a gentle motion, she lifted the coat sleeve so that Aaron could quickly put his right hand in.
"Thank you."
"Uh-huh," she said. She tilted her head and looked doubtfully at the picnic basket full of the food she and Aaron had prepared since morning. "Aar, but it's winter now. Why are you taking me on a picnic by the Pula River? Wouldn't it be icy?"
