“People eat these?” John asks, holding up a flower by its stem. He studies it, narrows his eyes. He frowns in confusion.
Monica fights back the urge to smile and shrugs. “Apparently.”
“Why the hell would anyone want to eat flowers?”
“The wildflowers here are supposed to have special healing properties. It’s not unusual for locals to add them to their meals,” she supplies.
“These things? Really?” He scrunches up his nose. Shakes his head in disbelief.
“Really, John. When I went out to pick up our lunch I got talking with Rebecca. She’s the lady who served me,” she explained. “She was really quite nice, actually. She told me a story about a friend of a friend who was healed.”
John pinches the bridge of his nose. He sucks thoughtfully on his lower lip.
Monica continues. “The friend of a friend had cancer. Malignant cancer. The doctors gave her no more than two months to live. That was when she joined the rest of the town in eating the wildflowers. At her next doctor’s appointment, tests showed no sign that there ever was any cancer. She still lives in this very town and is in perfect health.”
“How’d you know she’s okay?”
“I met her. We both did, in fact.”
“Ms Splade?” Realisation.
“Yup.”
“Wow.”
“I know.”
“You actually believe all this?”
“You don’t?”
He offers a pointed look. “It’s a little farfetched if you ask me.”
“Of course,” she says. Her eyes glint. “I guess I’ll just have to prove you wrong then.”
“And how are you going to do that?”
“Let’s go and find out.”
