"She's a pediatric nurse back in Pennsylvania." started Alessa, "She's the sweetest, most caring person I've ever met. Mary didn't treat me any differently from her three pups. She's really good at teaching us how to do things for ourselves. The pups are really good in public; they don't cry or throw tantrums. Mary doesn't raise her voice or hit them, she likes to talk things out. She has a younger twin sister named Maria. I don't know where Mary's pups' father is; they don't talk about him a lot." Alessa's eyes lit up, but not in the way they normally did when she was using her power. Alessa was happy to talk about her. "Mary likes baking and cooking, plus she likes to read." she added, "Oh, and Mary never likes to be late. She always looks at her watch to make sure she's not wasting time."
