It could be worse, I told myself as I adjusted the camera pin on my lapel and Lia leaned forward to ring the town gossip’s doorbell. Lia could have chosen a more destructive outlet for her issues.

“Can I help you?” The woman who answered the door was in her early fifties, with vivid red hair that wouldn’t have looked natural even if she were two decades younger. Her sense of fashion tended toward skintight and shiny.

You wear bright pink lipstick, even in your own home. The house is classic, understated—everything you’re not.

“If you’re Marcela Waite, I believe that we can help you,” Lia murmured.

Even a Natural liar’s credibility could only take us so far. As much as I loathed doing it, I picked up the slack. “My name is Cassie Hobbes. You knew my mother, Lorelai. She helped you connect to loved ones on the other side.”

Recognition sparked in Marcela’s eyes.

“Forty-four percent of psychics believe in UFOs,” Sloane blurted out. “But twice that believe in extraterrestrials.”

“The spirit realm speaks to Sloane in numbers,” Lia said solemnly.

“You have four dogs buried in your yard.” Sloane rocked back on her heels. “And you replaced four hundred and seventy-nine shingles on your roof last year.”

Marcela’s hand flew to her chest. Clearly, it had not—and would not—occur to her that Sloane was simply good at math and extremely observant.

“Do you have a message for me?” Marcela asked, her eyes alight.

“My mother passed away several years ago,” I said, sticking to the story we’d told Ree. “I came to Gaither to scatter her ashes, but before I do…”

“Yes?” Marcela said breathlessly.

“Her spirit asked me to come here and do a reading for you.”
