“What a beastly little orb! And such a misguided man.” Josie could only watch helplessly as Gideon charged out of her office, the tell-tale orb tucked under his arm as though he were disposing of a ticking time bomb.

He was correct about one thing: The orb was powerful, all right, more powerful than any weapon of war. If what she understood about it was to be believed, it was fueled by the most powerful force in the universe. Love. Whether the two parties wanted it or not. Which she didn’t. Not now. Not this way.

But she and Gideon seemed to be a captive audience for the pesky thing. It had performed its magic tricks with a playfulness Aunt Freddy had never mentioned. Showing off with all the shameless melodrama of a primadonna. Appearing and disappearing at will, tantalizing them, making her laugh, him growl in frustration.

All she had ever known about the arbitrary thing was what Aunt Freddy had said with a nod and a smile, “your time will come, my sweet girl. You’ll understand then.”

Now she understood only too well. As she switched off the light beside the bed and burrowed beneath the bedclothes, she remembered her own father’s amusement over tales of the orb. He’d never said why he thought it so amusing, only that he seemed quite proud that her mother had found him without having to resort to the “mad orb business.” Might be good to ask him about it in the morning, maybe even let him know that the dreadful thing had begun targeting her and Gideon.

As she dropped off to sleep, Josie knew with the certainty of a psychic that she would be awakened at first light by angry knocking on her bedroom door. And the accusing glare of Gideon Fletcher when he discovered she had been right after all.
