At nine o’clock on Monday morning Faith settled at her desk with a hot, strong coffee, and logged into her computer. She’d spent Sunday trying to come to grips with her issues, but got nowhere. That had led to a restless night and not enough sleep. She stared at the screen as the computer went through the initialization process. She was so tired she was enjoying watching the various messages flash across the pretty blue backdrop.

A few sustaining jolts of coffee cut through the fog. She opened her e-mail, downloaded a dozen messages and focused on the most important. The first one she opened was from Cody. “Call me when you get in,” it said.

A warmth spread through her as she read the words. She picked up the phone and dialed his number, but got his voicemail. Of course. What else was new? “Hi,” she said into the machine. “I’m in. Call me when you can.” She heard her voice as she spoke. It was low and husky, sounding sexy even to her ears. What was Cody going to think?

Hopefully, exactly what her voice was telling him.

As she hung up the phone she closed her eyes very briefly. Memories of Saturday night made her smile and sway a little in her chair as music blared in her brain. The music festival had been fun—and not just because Cody had sent her flying with his kisses. He was unexpected and spontaneous. Being with him made her feel—what?

Happy.

She shivered. She shouldn’t feel that way with Cody. She couldn’t. He was a computer scientist. He dealt in algorithms and binary codes. In Cody’s world everything was rational, reasonable and calculable.

Faith was a Beacon. In her world things happened through emotion, visualization and desire. Though there might be a scientific reason for her Beacon ability, it was buried pretty deep. What Faith did was magical, unexplainable even to her. How could the scientist in Cody Simpson cope with a talent like Faith’s? If he ever found out, he would run away so fast she wouldn’t have time to catch her breath.

She stared gloomily at the computer screen. Her life was a mess. She’d pretty much forced Uncle Andrew to abandon a friendship that spanned ten years and more. She was obsessing over a guy she expected to dump her if he ever got to know her well enough to build a relationship worth having and her sister was mad at her. She needed help. Big time.

“Hi there.”

Faith’s heart leapt and her spirits soared at the sound of his voice. It was as if a lamp had been turned on to light a dark afternoon. “Cody! I left you a message.”

“I know. I just picked it up.” He’d been leaning against the doorjamb. Now he entered her office. She stood up and discovered that he was very, very close.

She lifted her head. Her lips parted.

He smiled and his eyes narrowed. His head moved, bending closer. “I called you yesterday.”

“I wanted to see you,” she whispered. What she really meant was that she wanted to kiss him.
