Chapter Thirteen

He had knocked three times, desperately wanting his mother to open the door. When five minutes passed with no response, he turned on his heel, backtracking to the car. Just as he was about to take the first step down the porch stairs, he heard a door unlocking.

The instant she saw him, a smile spread over her lips and eyes. “Sweetie, what a nice surprise.”

He grinned and hugged her when she opened the door fully. She scooted to the side to make room for his entrance. He turned to her when the door had closed. “I was hoping I could get some advice.”

“Of course. From the look in your eyes, it looks quite serious.” She placed her hand on his cheek. He smelled flour and cinnamon.

He nodded. “It is. You baking cinnamon buns?”

She laughed. “Your nose got it on the first guess. Would you like to have one? I was taking a batch out of the oven right when you rang.”

His stomach did a rumble regardless of it being still full from the huge lunch he had almost two hours ago. He imagined slicing open the hot bun and spreading butter on it, both the butter and the bun melting in his mouth while he devoured it.

Her laugh got louder as she said, “Is your drool a yes?”

He nodded with flaring nostrils as he followed her into the kitchen. “Sit while I get the butter and two cups of coffee. I’m taking a break and we can chat.”

When she came back, he had already taken a bun and cut it into two equal parts. He spread some low-fat butter onto it and took a bite. She sat and asked, “So what is it you want to talk to me about?”

“Bruce,” he said, covering his mouth because it was still half full.

Panic veiled her eyes. “You’ve had another vision about his murder?”

He shook his head, swallowing. “No, none. Except the same one keeps coming back to me.” He sighed as he tore a piece of the bun in his hand. “I don’t know if that’s good news or not. I was hoping to get another vision that would shed more light on the first, but then if I did get another, does that mean the time it’ll happen is getting close?”

She shrugged. “I wish I knew, Drake. I’m sorry this burden was placed on your shoulders. I can imagine how much pressure you’re under.”

He snorted. “No, you couldn’t possibly.” He gulped hot, black coffee, cleared his throat, and continued, “Something happened today and my head is still spinning about it.”

She touched his hand with her warm palm. “What is it?”

“Bruce…” He hesitated, feeling awkward talking to his mother about this. But frankly, she was the only one who could give him the best advice, because she was a gypsy. He began again. “Bruce kissed me today. And I kissed him back.”

She instantly smiled. And he lifted his finger to quiet her enthusiasm. “I know that makes you happy, but I need you to look at this through your seer’s eyes, not as my mother.
