Clayton raised an eyebrow. "Really? But she didn't even major in psychology. What made her want to do that?"

"She spent a few years living out in the wilderness. Picked up a lot on her own. Now she's really into it."

Clayton perked up at the mention of the wilderness. "I've been meaning to ask you about that! I heard back when Irene had that accident, someone rescued her, and she ended up living in the woods with her kids for five years. Do you know who helped her?"

"No idea."

Clayton looked surprised. "Not even you know?"

"Nope. Elysia told me she promised her rescuer she wouldn't talk about what happened out there, or share anything about the person."

Clayton's jaw dropped. "That secretive, huh?"

"Yep."

Clayton sighed. "I was hoping to find out who it was, so I could thank them properly."

Tarquin, for his part, felt more curiosity than anything else.
