But maybe it was a date, Gray thought later. If the way his heart began to accelerate when he saw Tara walk into the reception area of his office was any indication, the term wasn’t far off the mark. He really had to watch himself. Getting involved with her could cause him all manner of problems.

Still, as they walked to the diner on the corner, he couldn’t resist carefully bumping shoulders with her. She didn’t seem to mind. If she even noticed. She did seem rather absorbed in her own thoughts.

He found out why when they were seated in the diner, eating sandwiches.

“I’ve given a great deal of thought to your suggestion about Daniel.

You know—the past-life regression thing,” she said. She’d eaten only a few bites of her sandwich and was merely playing with her French fries. “He and I had a discussion yesterday after his session, and he has some specific goals he wants to address.”

Gray frowned in sudden realization. “Where is Daniel, anyway?

He doesn’t go to regular school, does he?”

Tara’s face froze, and she stopped chewing. Then, carefully, she said, “He’s at home with a tutor. My ex-husband pays for private schooling.”

Her words were even, as if she were reciting something. Then she laughed a little. “I can only stand so much second-hand algebra.”

“He’s learning algebra already? Bright kid.” He paused, giving her a chance to respond, but she didn’t. “So what are these specific goals?”

“He’s aware of certain blank areas in his memory. He wants to fill those in. One of those was remembering his mother, and now he’d like to address other issues.”

“So what are you proposing?”

“I propose that we do exactly what Daniel wants to do, and no more. If that leads us into past life stuff again, so be it. If not, then I think it’s best to leave it alone.” She dragged an abnormally long French fry through the puddle of ketchup on her plate. “I don’t want to cause him too much stress. Not right now. The past life memories won’t go away. He can dredge them up any time he chooses. Right now I think we need to focus on the immediate issues.”

“All right, fair enough.” He watched her for a few seconds, as she again attended to her food. Her eating pattern struck him as nervous—she was pulling pieces out of her sandwich instead of eating the whole thing, and she’d constructed some sort of complicated filing sys tem with her fries. They seemed to be sorted by length, although some of the piles had fallen into each other.

Finally he said, “Speaking of immediate issues . . .”

“Yes?” she prompted.

“The déjà vu thing we were talking about. I went through some of my old therapy journals, just out of curiosity.”

“And?”

“I found some strange things. I think that might have been what I was remembering. If so, it’s all just a coincidence.”

“You mean we didn’t actually know each other in a past life?

What makes you say that?”

“Because the journal I was remembering didn’t refer to a past-life regression.
