“The noise of the pump probably won’t be a problem in the bedroom,” Gideon said.
“Exactly. You know, it might help if I got a bigger tank with a more expensive pump.”
“Goldfish keep growing, Amelia. The bigger the tank, the bigger they get.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“Let’s change the subject.”
“What do you want to talk about?”
He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. “Us.”
She snuggled into his heat and strength and yawned. “What about us?”
“I love you. I know it’s probably too soon for you to commit but I really need to know if you think that you might be able to one of these days.”
“It’s not too soon. I love you, Gideon. I started falling in love with you before we even met. When you called me back to set up the appointment to discuss my case, I really, really, really liked the sound of your voice.”
“Yeah?”
“Probably just another example of Shelton’s theories of aura resonance in action.”
“Do not drag my uncle into this, not now. I’m trying to be romantic.”
“And you are doing a marvelous job of it.” She turned in his arms and raised her lips for the kiss that sealed the private vows.
Aunt Cybil was right.Trust your intuition. Some things you know are true.

Episode 8: “Answers in the Ruins”
Podcast transcript:
Amelia:We started this podcast with the goal of finding out what really happened to the three of us over the course of a night that we lost to amnesia. It was a night that involved kidnapping and illegal experiments designed to enhance psychic talents. We barely escaped with our lives only to discover that the authorities did not believe us.
Pallas:We wanted answers and we set out to get them. We knew we were on our own. But thanks to you, the members of our audience, we were able to move forward with our investigation. Along the way we solved crimes involving mysterious disappearances and murders.
Talia:The trail led to a criminal organization controlled by a man we know only as Cutler Steen. Tonight we can tell you that Steenis dead. His scheme to conduct illegal drug experiments on unsuspecting people has been destroyed.
Pallas:You, our audience, played a vital role in saving the life of one of our own. In doing so, you helped us close this cold case. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You helped us journey through a long night and find the dawn.
Talia:We will need your help in the future, because one of the things our investigation has revealed is that Steen and his evil enterprise were not the only psychic criminals out there who move among us, undetected, taking advantage of their paranormal talents to deceive, manipulate, and commit murder.
Amelia:Stay with us, because, while this case has been closed, we are just getting started. Welcome toThe Lost Night Files. We’re in this together until we getanswers.
