Abe giggles with his unexpected friend. "Well, this is certainly not something I ever would have expected. Do you have a picture?"

Flemming shows him. "The first is my parents' wedding day, and this is Mom at my seventy-fifth."

Abe smiles at the un-aged woman in the pictures.

"Remarkable. And how old is she now, if you don't mind my asking?"

She chuckles. "109."

Abe raises his eyebrows.

"Still a child, then." He shows her a photo of his age-less father. "Dad's going on 238."

"Still. Give me mortality any day."

"Makes life worth living." Abe agrees with a nod.
