Tanith looked at the tall blonde girl wearing the tank top and jeans that was sitting at the table opposite her. She looked familiar for some reason.
The girl winked at her.
Tanith returned her attention to Ghastly, who was telling herself and Valkyrie a story about when he and Skulduggery had been in the Dead Men.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw the girl get up from her table and come over to theirs.
"I'm sorry" she said, putting her hand on Tanith's shoulder. "Can I borrow your salt?"
"Sure." Ghastly said holding the salt out for her.
The girl leaned over to take the salt and as she was leaning past Tanith she whispered "See you later, babe."
Tanith froze. She had heard that voice before. She had heard it when she was about sixty. When she had been a bit bi-curious. It was the voice of someone she had gone out with. The girl walked back to her table and sat down. The memory sent shivers down Tanith's spine.
