Nadine makes no comment, but she notes what he says. The particular wording. 'I don't feel them here'.
She can understand that, though in her case, she doesn't want to be found. It's a neat and tidy solution, in a way. Just disappear into a new life in another world. The possibility had never occurred to her, for obvious reasons, but now she'd been handed the opportunity.
It really would solve a lot of her problems.
What he says also tells her something else important. His family isn't even here in this world.
"There's just safety in numbers," Nadine agrees. "And I have a candle. It smells like cucumber and chili peppers, which is a weird scent combo, but it's better than sitting in the dark."
She holds her own door open.
"I come from a small town, too. In New Hampshire. But I've spent some time in cities, at least. It's a big adjustment."
