Even Shelby was uneasy listening to this. The fact that she had been at the same table with a witch was terrifying! She started mentally counting the other species she had met since Ian came into her life. The most important question on everyone's mind that went unsaid was, 'Why were all the beings getting attracted to Shelby?'
Shelby took in a deep breath and then re-iterated,
"She said that she had always wanted to meet me in person. It was more like some nostalgic feeling of a sort. She also added for my ears only, 'You're such a lovely person, and I hate for what is to come. It was nice meeting you. Take care of yourself.' At that time, I thought it was bizarre for her to say that to me, especially considering all the emotions that emanated from her. That was our first meeting, but it seems to make sense now."
Shelby turned her fear-stricken face to ask Ian, "What do you think she meant about what was to come?"
