The next morning, I lay in bed for a while and thought. I was beginning to like Line a lot. He pretended to be cowardly and afraid of things, but as far as I could tell, he wasn't afraid of anything.

And he was a good sport, ready to try anything new. He made me laugh with his repeated flirtations with me. I was sure he'd be willing to go to bed with me and have a good time, but I knew there could never be a lasting rela-tionship between us. He was too in awe of me. When I touched him I felt his wondering what I could do. Could I get him a role that would win him an Oscar? Could I put a spell on a movie that would make it sell magnifi-cently?

No, I was too much of a freak to Line for there ever to be anything but friendship between us. My husband, Adam, was the only person who knew what I could do yet never so much as thought about using my abilities for personal gain. Adam loved me for myself; what I could do with my mind was of no more importance than if I could speak another language. As a man might say, "My wife speaks French,"

my husband could say, "My wife can kill people with her mind."

In the precious time Adam and I were together, I used to tease him that I was like Samantha on the old TV show. Her husband did everything to get his wife to be "normal." "And it always backfired," Adam said once, kiss-ing me on the nose.

Adam never tried to exploit my abilities. One of our few fights had been when one of his investments had failed and I'd asked him if he'd like for me to see if I could change it. Adam had become angry and it took me a while to understand why. The witch who'd kidnapped him when he was a child, the woman I'd killed, had used the mirror to foresee about the stock market so she could make money. Adam was angered at the idea of using su-pernatural power to make money.

He viewed what I did with the FBI as a proper way to use my abilities and stayed with me as I went through the files. He was always there to hold me when I saw a vision of something too horrible to bear.

There were times when I saw things that had been done to a child that so upset me that Adam would carry me to bed and make me rest. If I was too upset, he'd make love to me until the images of horror were gone.

After breakfast, Line and I got into the car we'd rented; it was raining outside, and I couldn't stop thinking about my husband. I closed my eyes to keep the tears from run-ning down my cheeks.

"Like to talk to me?" Line asked softly.

His concern and his perception made me smile.
