Tugging and scrunching one of her shirt sleeves, Billie also avoided looking Gideon in the eye as she struggled to fully grasp what he seemed to be saying. However, his last statement seemed straightforward enough and she took a step back. "H...uh?"

How had her mother made that clear? Perhaps, it was the bits she couldn't comprehend, and the reasoning the man declined to explain. Was that why Anna had declared Gideon as the reason for her? How could she know if they had met just once? Billie knew very little about where babies came from, but she had always assumed one had to be married first. At least, that's what the church preached.

"Are ya sure?" She questioned. Perhaps, that's where her magic had come from. It would make sense, but he could never imagine Gideon and her mother being together in any capacity, especially not friendly enough to create her.
