I had no idea why that ability had started to show recently "You’re not"

"That’s not all"

"It’s not?" Eagerness filled Deacon’s voice

"I can tell things Like when solow to the vision problems," she said, and the ht she was a nornant! At least I think I do And by the way, that got me fired"

I blinked slowly

"Do tell," Deaconat the indie bookstore and , late as usual with her husband, and when I looked at her stoht that for so fist-size ball of light shaped like a baby"

Deacon and I exchanged looks

"So what else would I do? I blurted out that she was pregnant," Cora continued on from the other side of the door "Little did I know, her and her husband had hit a nant, it couldn’t have been her husband’s"

"Oh my," I said

"Yeah, oh my So she fired me that afternoon" There was a thump from the other side of the door that I really hoped wasn’t her head "Of course, I learned to not just blurt out randorinned "Smart h was audible through the door "This is real, and you guys aren’t going away, are you?"

Glancing over at Deacon, it didn’t appear that he had noticed anything weird, but I was seconds away fro out

Okay

That wasthe door open for us I forced a s the fact that I wanted to find the nearest corner and start rocking in it She either saw that I was sick--sick fro that looked like a baby-shaped ball of light

"We have a lot to talk about," Deacon said, closing the door behind us

Cora glanced nervously between us, and I made sure the smile was still planted on ot done there, I needed to find Alex
