Chapter Eight

Rayne was sitting on her front porch with her foot elevated. She had refused to move in with him. Colleen didn’t need more stress in her life right now. Her stubbornness had surprised Sean, but he had let it drop. What he wouldn’t listen to was her tackling the watering.

“Just wait until I get back. Surely you can do that.”

“I’m missing one whole watering, though.”

Sean turned his eyes from the road toward Rayne for a second. She could feel his emotions even though she was looking out the window of the truck cab. Lifting the soft drink in the large cup, she sipped it slowly. Sean had bought them lunch for the ride back home. That was when he had told her he wanted to stay, but he had to hurry home and change clothes. Tonight was a meeting of local business owners, and of all nights, this one included dinner and he’d agreed to give a short talk. He would have sent Bob, but Colleen had reminded him three times yesterday and twice this morning after his return that they had Lamaze class tonight. It was the longer one, with the video and tour.

“All right,” Rayne told him quietly a few moments later. “I’ll wait for you.”

“Promise?”

Rayne turned to look at him, surprised that he seemed to know her that well. “Yes, I promise.”

Sean grinned at her. “No toes, fingers, legs and eyes crossed, right?”

She couldn’t resist him, even though she hadn't gotten her way.

It was nine o’clock now, which was the time she liked to start filling the buckets. She couldn’t remember how many times she wished she’d spent the extra money she’d gotten on an irrigation system, even if hadn't covered the whole area. And it hadn't become a problem until she’d received the warning to be wary of people poking around. The PSI agents had gotten a tip a couple of months ago. That was when she had had to resort to conventional watering methods. No more “rain dancing” until the commotion settled down once again.

As a very young child, she had discovered her powers over water. She could move it, as in making waves in her bathtub while nothing moved. When she was five, she made waves appear suddenly in a completely placid lake when there wasn’t a breath of wind. At age eight she got to see the ocean for the first time, and the last as far as her grandmother was concerned. It was a very wet group that piled back into the old car for the trip home.

It was only after they had to leave their grandmother did Rayne begin studying other things, among them casting spells and Native American lore regarding the making of rain. At age thirteen, she brought a light sprinkle, and it only covered a really small area. But at eighteen, there was a spectacular thunderstorm, with lightning galore. She soon discovered the big storms were easy; it was getting the rain to fall in a small isolated area that was hard.
