Chapter 82: Adjusting to the Same Old Things

At the end of Billy's story, the elderly woman was the first to speak. "That's quite a tale. It's hard to imagine all of that happening.

That was the kind of reaction he had expected from Jacqueline. Of course, she had to prove herself different and accept it without batting an eye. Now the question was what the elderly couple would do now after hearing Billy's abridged version of what happened. Would they decide that he was just making things up and ask him to leave? Would they take him seriously, like Jacqueline did?

"In fact, it sounds complete nonsense," the elderly man said before getting elbowed into the side by the old woman.

"What the old coot is saying is that he can't believe it either," she said.
