Steve looks up from his newspaper. "You want to know?"


"Of course I want to know."


"But you haven't been very interested in what he has to say." He puts the paper
down slowly, flattening it carefully along the creases. "I thought you didn't
approve."


"It's important to you, isn't it?" I move the cabbage heart in the water. "Then it's
important to me."


Steve looks at me uncertainly. "Okay. The hypnosis is going pretty well, so Dr.
Michaels has decided to fix me up with the group next week."


"The group?"


"People who've had experience with this kind of thing."


"With treating it?"
"No. With the abductions. Don't give me that look."


"But Steve!"


He shoots up from his chair like an angry black cloud. "It's no different from all
your spirit babble. Except this really happened to me, Betty."


I suppress my "look." I turn down the heat on the stove. The cabbage smell
turns my stomach and now is no time to vomit all over the floor.


"I know that you saw something," I say. I say this locking my eyes on his so he
knows he can trust me. It is like persuading a bear that you mean no harm to
her cubs. And Steve is a big man.


"Not something, Betty. Someone. One of them. Dr. Michaels says it is not as
uncommon as one might think."


"Dr. Michaels does not want to know what I think."
