"Umm...no," he lied. "Have you seen Mom and Dad?"
"Not since we separated. They have their own lives to lead, after all." She smiled at him. "Do you want to sit with me a while? I am feeling a bit tired, and I see some chairs over there."
Jon looked around. This was overwhelming. "And you are...all right with all this?"
"This is who I am," Zoe said. "For now, at least. You'll have that sort of perspective when you get to reach my age." She smiled. "Perhaps sooner than you think."
She started to walk toward the chairs.
