Marie: *Marie was sitting at a cafe, looking at the photos she had taken earlier that day on her camera. She was troubled and shaken by a recent event that had taken place in the small town of Alborn, Minnesota, where she was studying abroad for a few months.* *Hunter approached her table and cleared his throat.* "Excuse me, miss.
