Chapter 9

I sat in my car like a zombie for at least two whole minutes while I recovered. Eve’s kiss had thrown me, in the most wonderful of ways. I felt a strange kind of awakening blossoming through me along with a confusion as to what this meant. My heart was still hammering and I could still taste her lips on mine. It had stunned me that I would react so incredibly to her touch. It was in that moment that I realised something else…I hadn’t had a vision. I had always assumed that if I had close contact with anyone now, I would see things I perhaps didn’t want to. All I had thought of when I was in Eve’s arms was her. Nothing else, just Eve.

When my mind cleared, I started the car and backed out of her drive. Whilst driving home, my mind wondered back over the events of the previous night. Even though it had begun with the threat of danger, it had turned into one of the best nights of my life. Meeting Eve had been the most life-changing event I had experienced, ever.

A middle-aged woman climbed out of the passenger seat and hurried around to help Mary out. ‘Carefully, Mum.’

Mary got out at last and then looked at me. ‘This is my daughter, Cathy. Cathy-this is Annie Lane-my doctor.’

‘It’s nice to meet you,’ I said politely.

‘It’s lovely to meet you too,’ she replied. ‘I’ve heard a lot about you.’

I frowned at her and then turned to Mary. ‘Why are you here, Mary? I don’t mean to be rude but why are you at my house and how did you find me?’

‘All in good time, dear…may we come inside a while and talk?’ she asked.

‘I…well, of course,’ I said, releasing the breath I was holding. ‘Come on in,’ I said, gesturing up to the door.

I walked up, unlocked the door and led them in. Mary made her way in slowly and the sat down in the lounge. I excused myself to make a tray of
