Story

“Are those plantain chips?”

Evan nearly choked on her chip. She turned to see another teenager standing behind her. The girl was tall, willowy and seemed to possess a divine sense of fashion.

“Do you want some?” Eva asked. “I have plenty.”

The girl dropped down beside her and plucked a chip from the pile on Eva’s plate, her lace sleeve billowing out. “Oh my. How lovely. I do believe this is an auspicious beginning, but I don’t wish to be premature.”

“Oh no. Of course not. BTW, I’m Eva.” She tried not to sound confused.

“Right. Right. I’m Maeve.”

“You’re new, I take it?” Eva tried to keep her tone casual but guarded. The new girl, Maeve, was weird but a good weird.

“New to this place and time. Yes. In other terms, not so much. As my family says, ‘Time is fleet of foot in all directions’.”

“That seems like a cool way of looking at it.” Eva pushed her plate toward Maeve. “Take some more. I have to head to the greenhouse.”

“Ooh, can I come? Only if you won’t be found culpable.”
“Sure. More hands the better. We’re running a community garden.”

“Splendid. Let’s go, soulmate!” Maeve bounded to her feet.

“What?”

“Meant to be.”
