Hannah hadn’t recognized the lanky, pony-tailed man in Aaron’s vision of Francois’s thoughts. Her habit of noninvolvement won out when Aaron didn’t mention him either. She was still processing her frightening ability to aid Aaron’s psychometry.

She had a gift besides lugging a library inside her head? Was it her task to communicate what Aaron saw or was she only there to help? What else might she do—if this wasn’t really time travel?

She was beginning to realize the limitations of her library—every gift was individual and unpredictable, molded by DNA and the environment, in the same manner that shaped their bodies and other talents.

Could she help Keegan or Teddy with their crystals? Not that she knew anything about crystal energy or how it worked. Maybe she could enhance Amber’s psychic readings? Hannah had difficulty imagining hiding under the table, touching Amber’s toes while she read tarot cards for her customers—but she ought to try.

Kurt spoke as they reached town. “I need to pick up Uncle Lance and take him to the city. The lawyer is reading Mom’s will, and she apparently did something right for him for a change.”

Aaron squeezed Hannah’s arm—briefly. Not long enough to get dizzy but enough to know she shouldn’t speak. Lance? Was that the man she’d seen in his vision?

Teddy returned to her jewelry shop. That left Hannah to pick up something at the café or the grocery—alone.

“We need to talk.” Aaron didn’t walk off as expected.

“I need to shower,” she countered in self-defense. This seeing inside the heads of others was a little too intimate and left her vaguely queasy—and understanding why gifted people questioned their abilities or abandoned them entirely. With great gifts came great responsibility—and utter confusion.

Aaron’s responsibility scared her half to death.

“I’ll pick up lunch at the café.” As if she’d agreed to share it with him, he strode off and left her to enter the antique shop alone.

Already shaken, she almost backed out as soon as she opened the door, fearing she’d entered another time zone.

Sunlight caught on the sparkle of water and the pleasant bubble of a fountain that hadn’t been there earlier. A thick, zebra-striped rug welcomed her feet to trod on it. A rainbow of prisms beckoned the eye to the right, where the now-empty shop window spilled more light.

She missed the medieval cuirass, but the prisms were enchanting.

Soft light glowed in every corner of the high-ceilinged shop from fixtures that had once sat empty.

The magic fairy dispelling the gloom sat on a stepladder, dusting a fiery red porcelain teapot and humming. Wan Hai didn’t even look over at the opening door. Hannah could have been a thief and robbed the place blind for all the feng shui expert would notice.

She wanted to see Aaron’s face when he entered his cave, but she really needed that shower too. Greeting Wan Hai, who just vaguely waved, Hannah hastened up the stairs.

She showered, donned a denim dress that hit just above her knees—probably her sexiest outfit—and was sitting on Aaron’s desk, facing the door, drinking a refreshing glass of iced tea by the time he returned.
