"We can manage it, anyway, between the two of us," Lily teased gently as she reached for her bag and began to take her things out. There wasn't much; a pair of tights and a tank top, her pointe shoes, a towel, and she folded her clothes into the towel before leaving it to rest on the sand.
"Why would someone create a virus like this?" she asked as she began to collect the marbles strewn in the sand. Every so often she'd pause and look at one, watch the light reflect off it, the way the sunlight bounced off the surface. It couldn't have been natural, not if Faye thought the marbles contained the virus. That was too perfect, too clearly manufactured. And the next question, why did they make her immune? Or how had she gotten that way? Lily knew Faye had lived in an entirely different world from the one she'd grown up in and sometimes it was so clear to her how little adversity she'd had to face in comparison to the people she'd met here.
