Vera found herself in a far-fetched situation when her sons, Ian and Philip, invited her to join them on their fishing holiday near the beach at The Entrance, situated on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Cassandra and Vera were close every day of Vera's holiday when she would sit on the beach in the shade of a large rock and read her novel. Cassandra sensed that Vera was a clever and intuitive woman who would be open to the spiritual world and had the business knowledge to get the help Cassandra needed, so she asked Vera for help. Vera and Anthony met at a beachside cafe nearby. Anthony's sister, with the help of friends, organised the meeting between Vera and Anthony.
