"It’s all right," Bryce said as he sat down. "And I am interested in shooting the mansion, but that’s not the reason, I came here." He reached into his coat and pulled out the manila envelope. "Earlier today, I was at a shopping center in town, taking candid shots for my portfolio. Mrs. Rayne, I believe you were at the same place and I caught a picture of you that I think you’ll want to see."

He nervously handed Julia the envelope.
 
Julia slowly let go of Derek's hand and accepted the envelope, opening it and taking the photo out curiously, only to look at it and blink when she saw the aura.
 
It had been in front of the second Shoppe she had come across, right before she spotted Derek who was, ironically, on the phone with the one that had taken this picture.
 
She looked at the picture and then lifted her blue gaze up to the man "What exactly is your intention of showing this to me?"
 
Julia had a sneaking suspicion it had to do with the aura, which would open up the question about her ability and a possible fanatic so she was measuring his answer, sizing him up.
