Chapter Twenty One

He’d walked for ten minutes when he spotted Dave Roan headed his way. No doubt on his way to call on Blossom. Those two were bound to announce their engagement any day. It couldn’t be too soon to suit him.

When they met, Dave surprised him by falling in step beside him. “Heard about the fire. Tough, losing everything like that. Glad you weren’t more than shaken.”

“It scared the shit out of me, but I’m okay.”

After a few steps, Dave asked, “How are things at Blossom’s?”

Brendan should have guessed. “Mom called you?”

Dave nodded. “She seemed upset that you and Deirdre had harsh words.” After a few more steps, he said, “I thought you’d decided to believe Deirdre. Was I wrong?”

Brendan exhaled. “I don’t know what I believe anymore. You know about her visions of the future. It’s crazy.”

“Your mother and I discussed them. That’s easier for me than the time travel. I guess it’s not for you, right?”

“Hell, I don’t know what I think anymore.” He raked a hand through his hair. “When I’m with her, she appears so genuine that her story of traveling through time and having visions sounds almost plausible. Then later, I think about it and realize I’d have to be crazy to believe her.”

“Yet her predictions have been right on the mark so far. According to Blossom, she saw a vision of you before you met. Then let’s see. She knew your dog’s name, knew about your friend who died, and predicted the car crash. Anything I missed?”

“Yeah, she says she’s had another one.” He stopped walking and turned to face the doctor. “You’re not saying you believe all this?”

Dave shrugged and resumed walking. “The longer I live and the more I learn, the more I know there are lots of things in life for which there’s no logical explanation. Things no one can justify. But they exist anyway.”

“I know that, but visions of the future, travel through time. Those are hard pills to swallow, Doc.”

“Very funny. Look, you’re an admirable young man, but you tend to overanalyze. Some things just are. Like ‘I am the great I am.’ You have to accept them on faith and stop trying to take them apart.”

“I’m trying, but it’s against my nature.”

“I know, but there’s a saying that springs to mind. ‘Go with the flow.’ Not good as a general plan in life, but it definitely applies here.”

“So you think I should believe her predictions and take appropriate steps to prepare for them? Well, listen to the latest. She thinks there’s a man with a spider on his hand just below his white shirt cuff who plans to kill me.”

“Well, someone certainly seems determined to.”

Incredulous, Brendan stopped walking and stared. “Dave? You’re a man of science.”

The older man shrugged. “I’m also a middle-aged man who’s seen a lot of things in this life he can’t explain. How does one patient, who by all textbook rules should die in a few weeks, recover completely? And at the same
