DANI DIDN’T REALLY want to sleep that night, mostly because she didn’t want to dream. The brainstorming session with Hollis and Paris had produced nothing useful, as far as they could tell, and the knowledge that Bishop was completely rewriting his profile of the killer had done nothing to help.

The opposite, in fact.

Maybe that was why both Paris and Hollis suggested that she bring them into her dreams.

“Have you ever taken two people in at once?” Hollis asked curiously.

Dani shook her head. “I’m not sure I can even do that.”

Hollis sipped her wine and then lifted the glass in a little salute. “Well, I’m game if you decide to try. If you happen to pull us into the vision dream, we can at least try to remember all the details we can, maybe some you’ve missed.”

“And if it’s just an ordinary, everyday dream?”

Paris said with a grin, “Then we get to be voyeurs.”

“Dammit, Paris!”

Hollis said, “Let me guess. Marc?”

Dani cleared her throat. “Paris thinks she’s being funny. It was just one time; I don’t even know why I dreamed about him that night, because I hadn’t seen him in years.”

“Did it ever occur to you,” Paris said, “that it might be my doing? That you dreamed about Marc that night, I mean.”

“What? How could it be?”

“Something Maggie suggested I try, not long after we first signed on with Haven.” Paris held up a hand before Dani could find the words she was obviously seeking. “Don’t blame her. The suggestion was that I think of something or someone you had a strong connection to and hold that in my mind as I went to sleep on a night when we had planned to dream-walk. So I did.”

“Marc?”

“Well, you were so determined not to talk about him that I knew you still had feelings for him. So I thought about him.” She smiled slightly. “Didn’t quite expect to find myself in such a passionate dream, but—”

“Jesus, Paris.” Dani felt her face get hot and silently thanked the universe that she had been able to bring that dream to an end rather quickly. Or, at least, shove Paris out of it. And why had she been dreaming erotic dreams about Marc, anyway? She’d gotten him out of her system by then.

She had.

Hollis said, “Let’s not think about Marc tonight, okay? It’s not that I’d deprive you, Dani, it’s just—”

Dani held up a hand. “No explanations necessary, really. Look, guys, I don’t even know if I can take both of you in.”

“Give it a try,” Hollis suggested. She drained her wineglass and added, “One of Bishop’s many theories is that when you have enough psychics in the same small area, especially if they’re all focused on the same case, their energies sort of…overlap. All kinds of weird things can happen, but what usually does, in our experience, is that abilities begin to shift, to change. So, even if you aren’t successful in taking us into your dreams, the effort itself might help us or might help your abilities to evolve.
