"We're going to the Crystal Conservatory right now." Ten minutes later they stood alone inside the warm glass sanctuary, the morning sun pouring brightly through the clear roof. Bettoni walked to her wooden potting table. Her small hands shook violently as she grabbed a clean stone bowl. She needed scientific certainty before she lost her mind. She reached for a glass jar filled with dried blue moonflower petals and crushed the delicate blue leaves into a fine powder using her stone pestle.
