Rhea glanced up. “You studied in Sweden?”
Leo shrugged. “I’ve lived all over the place.”
“And what made you come here?”
“Ley lines.”
He said it with a grin, but Rhea couldn’t help rolling her eyes. It was bad enough when tourists treated the town like a wacky sideshow, but people who moved here strictly for the metaphysical ambiance could be even worse.
“Kidding.” Leo smiled. “When I dropped out of the grad program at NAU, I decided I wanted to regroup in a place that spoke to me. And Sedona...” He shrugged. “Spoke to me.”
It was still kinda ley lines. “What were you studying in grad school?”
Leo gave her a peculiar look. Had she already asked that question?
“Molecular biology.”
“No kidding? My sister’s in the molecular biology grad program at NAU.”
Leo laughed awkwardly. Maybe he thought she was making fun of him somehow.
“Seriously. She’s studying autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorders in rats or something.”
“Are you...?” Leo’s hand was in his hair again. He looked completely flustered. “I thought...” He shook his head, the flustered expression turning to a look of understanding as his pale skin went pink. “You’re not Theia, are you?”
