LILY HAD THOUGHT she’d be glad to be back at school. But as much as she’d missed her kids, she found it impossible to concentrate on work.

All she could think about was McBride.

They had come so close to making love Saturday. The memory of his mouth on hers was so vivid it made her body grow warm and liquid with need.

But that had happened two days ago, and since that time she’d had a chance to think long and hard about what was going on between them.

The truth was, she and McBride were wrong for each other. There wasn’t a chance in hell they’d ever form a lasting relationship together.

Because she was a psychic.

There. She’d admitted it.

She was a psychic. She’d spent most of her life hating the word, hating the idea, but the truth was she couldn’t change what she was, no matter how much she wanted to.

And for the first time, she didn’t think she wanted to.

She had a gift, just like her sisters. Like most gifts, it came with strings attached. What she saw in her visions often brought her pain. There would be many visions she’d rather escape. But if her recent visions of Abby had done nothing else, they’d taught her that sometimes her gift could be a blessing as well as a curse.

She’d helped Abby. She’d comforted the child, helped her not be so afraid. God willing, her visions would lead her to Abby soon. Lily could never turn her back on her gift now.

Not even for McBride.

She sensed that something dark and horrible had happened to the detective. Something that made belief impossible for him.

So she had a decision to make. She could either take what she could get, knowing that it wouldn’t end well, or stop playing with fire now before she got burned.

Which was it going to be?

By the time the school bell rang at three, she was no closer to an answer. And McBride would be there soon, forcing her hand. She tried to distract herself by getting a head start on grading the day’s papers while she waited.

But by ten to four, McBride still hadn’t shown.

Carmen stuck her head through the doorway just after four, her expression full of curiosity. “Got a call from Lieutenant McBride. He’s stuck in traffic, but he’s on his way. You want to call him, tell him I’ll give you a ride?”

Lily knew she should probably take Carmen up on the offer, but realized that by avoiding McBride, she’d be only delaying her decision. “I’ll be fine. I’m sure he’ll be here soon.”

“Okay. Everybody else has left, but Roy’s in the gym sweeping up, and Mabel is over at the portable classrooms if you need anything.” Carmen left with a little wave.

Lily passed the time preparing her own classroom for the next day’s lessons. The air was thick with silence, the deep hush that could be found only in places like schools, as if the remembered sounds of children laughing and talking somehow made the rare quiet tangible.
