Chapter Seven

“So have you always been a star?”

They had continued walking after Adina had pulled herself together. Her hand was in Jack’s again and once more she was shocked that it felt so right, that he felt right. Her heart thrummed at his touch.

Jack laughed softly. “As long as you have wished on stars, I have been there.”

“You make it sound like wishes create stars.”

“Of course they do. Why do you think there are so many stars in the sky?” he motioned to the stars above them. “Millions of people make a wish every night and with every wish, a star is born.”

Adina laughed, an honest to goodness laugh. It felt so good to laugh with someone. She hadn’t had anything to laugh about in so long. “Sorry,” she said. “That just reminded me of Barbara Streisand . You know, her movie A Star is Born?”

Jack smiled. “I’m familiar with her work, yes.” He pointed to a woman walking her dog down the street. “Can you tell me anything about her?”

Adina thought about it for a moment and the answer came to her: “Her husband is cheating on her with his secretary and she knows but stays because she loves him.”

Adina froze. She had no way of knowing that, but knew it was true. She could feel it in her gut. It felt right. “There’s no way I could know that, not really.” She said.

Jack smiled, pointed to another person. This time it was a man in a business suit, walking briskly, a briefcase swinging in his hand. “And him?” he asked. “What can you tell me about him?”

Adina closes her eyes for a moment and it came to her instantly; she didn’t even have to think. “He’s gunning for a promotion he’ll never get because it will go to someone who is sleeping with the boss.”

Jack nodded. Adina looked at him with wide-eyed wonder. “Jack? Jack how am I able to….”

“One more,” he said. He pointed to a child walking with his parents. They were pushing a stroller in front of them and Adina could hear the cries of a newborn baby. She nodded, almost as if she were in a trance. “He’s jealous of the new baby; he thinks his parents have replaced him.”

She put a hand to her mouth. “My God, Jack. I haven’t been able to see things for years. It’s been so long and I’ve never been able to see so clearly.” She looked at him, searched his eyes for some sort of answer. “How is this possible?”

Jack smiled. “All in good time.” He grinned when he saw her frown. “I’ll tell you, don’t worry. But first, can I get some clothes?” He touched a hand to her face. “Or would you rather I walk around naked most of the time?”

She laughed. “Well…” A blush reddened her cheeks.

Jack laughed and pulled her close to him. “Ah, so the lady does have a wild streak.” He kissed her softly. “I’m glad to see there is hope after all.
