Chapter 8

Oh, no. He was going to demand to know exactly what was going on with her mental powers. If only she hadn’t gotten that urgent warning to get out of her home...

On second thought, she couldn’t be sorry for having gotten a message that could very well have saved their lives.

Thing was, she’d never been able to do anything even remotely like that before. Her powers had never included awareness of current events unfolding around her, and, furthermore, her powers had never extended to her own safety.

Dammit, her powers were supposed to be going away, not multiplying exponentially. But ever since Max had come into her life, the cursed things had been growing like crazy. She just had to persist. If she ignored her powers for long enough, they would fade. They had to.

She glanced up, alarmed to see Max studying her in that intent way he did that peeled back every layer of deception and laid her soul bare. She asked cautiously, “What do you want to talk about?”

“This whole psychic thing. Is it really a thing?”

Although this was a conversation she was intimately familiar with, having had it a hundred times, never had so much ridden on her handling it correctly. She shrugged with feigned unconcern. “Depends on who you ask. Most of my family would tell you it’s all crap. But you just got a fairly forceful demonstration of it when I got that warning to run.”

“And you had no idea whatsoever that those guys were coming for you and your place?”

“None whatsoever.”

“Nobody at the party last night said anything to you to indicate that your place might get rolled today?”

“At the party?” she exclaimed. “Do you think someone from there sent those men?”

“It’s possible. But we can talk about that later. I want to stay focused on this psychic stuff for the moment.”

Rats. Not going to be diverted, was he?

He spoke slowly. “Hypothetically, let’s say I have an open mind. Convince me what I just saw is real.”

She pulled over the only other folding chair at the table and sat down across from him. She looked him dead in the eye and said, “Here’s the thing. It’s not my job to convince you one way or the other whether or not my talents are real or fake. You’ll see what you see, and you’ll come up with whatever explanation makes sense to you. Some people think they see miracles from God. Others see angels. Others see pure coincidence.”

“And you? What do you see?”

She winced. In spite of her angry decision earlier to bag the whole normal thing, she hadn’t really meant it. She’d just been mad at Max for lying to her. At the end of the day, she really wanted to find a way to have a normal life. Which left her trying to tiptoe between the land mines the man across the table was throwing at her feet. The hot man she’d had amazing sex with last night and whom she’d dearly love to not only bed again but build a real relationship with.
