     "Poppy..." Branch said with a quiet sigh as he looked away from her in sadness. "I'm sorry, but..." He looked back up at her with caring eyes, taking her hands gently in his. "Even if your mom wasn't eaten by a Bergen... there's no telling where she is now. Or... if she's even still alive..."

     "I know she is, Branch," Poppy objected, pulling away from her boyfriend as she stood up to her feet, placing her hands against her heart as she looked up at the sky dreamily. "I can feel it..."

     Again, she looked back at Branch, helping him up to his feet as well...

     "Ever since I was little..." she continued, holding his hands gently in hers as she gazed deeply into his gorgeous crystal blue eyes. "I had this feeling she was out there somewhere... and now that I found this letter... I know it's true..."
