Opting to take the question at face value, Anna nodded. I ended up walking a lot further than I anticipated tonight.
Angus idly stirred his seltzer. And why is that?
Anna gave her head a sharp shake. Doesnt matter. So youre from Scotland?
He chuckled at the abrupt change of subject and sipped his drink. Aye, Im a weegie, born and bred.
She tilted her head incredulously. A ouija? Like the board game? Contact the spirits of the dearly departed and all that? She waggled her fingers mystically.
