Felix leaned forward. “She’s really psychic?”

I heaved a sigh. “Yes. She has visions. Usually while she sleeps but sometimes when she’s awake. She’s always fucking right.” I elbowed Craig. “My freshman year of college, she drove me to Austin to help me move into my dorm. On the way there, she told me I was about to meet my best friend.”

“Awww. I love that story.” Craig sent his text then leaned over to put his head on my shoulder.

Silvia pursed her lips. “There are more things in this world than we can ever understand. If she was given this gift, God must trust her to use it wisely.”

Lloyd picked up Silvia’s hand. “Well said.” He kissed her knuckles.

Foster tilted his beer at me. “I guess this means it’s your turn to get hit with the love stick.”

I glared at him. “That’s not happening. Plus, I haven’t even searched for a house yet, much less moved.”

Craig tapped his chin with one finger. “You know, Greg. The big house at the end of our street is for sale.”

Everyone made “Oooh” noises. Everyone except Malcolm and Felix.

Those two were whispering furiously at each other. Usually I’d be able to hear what they were saying, but there was enough ambient noise in the room to muffle their words.

With his eyes locked on Felix’s, Malcolm gestured in my direction. Felix had his arms crossed and he was shaking his head.

“Hey, what’s up, y’all?” They didn’t look my way, so I said, “Malcolm? Felix?”

The others turned to stare at them. It was nice not being the center of attention anymore.

Malcolm finally turned back to the rest of us. “Sorry. We, um....” He glanced at Felix. “We know someone who has the same sort of psychic talent.”

I inhaled sharply. Lloyd was more subtle, but I could tell he’d gone tense.

“You mean visions while they sleep? Visions that come true?”

Malcolm nodded. “Yeah, exactly.” He made a face. “Trust me, I was skeptical as hell the first time Felix told me about it, but they’re the real deal.”

Holy fuck. Seeing visions was a rare gift. Carefully I said, “My mom would be happy to speak to them, to tell them how it works for her.” I practically held my breath waiting for a response.

Malcolm and Felix exchanged glances again. Felix leaned back in his chair. “This person is very private, and I won’t share their name or contact info without their permission.”

This psychic could be anyone Felix was acquainted with, but he had two best friends, Steve and Cal. I’d met Steve at Malcolm and Felix’s house once, and he didn’t carry any magic at all. My money was on Cal.

I nodded. “Of course. Can I give you my mom’s info to pass on to them? She’ll be excited to hear from them, I promise.”

Lloyd nodded. “That’s an understatement.”

If anything, this seemed to make Felix even more uncomfortable. He made a face. “I don’t know. They’re not good with... excitable people.”

Oh, right. Felix had met my mother. Shit. “Okay. I’ll tell her to tone it down. Your friend can always text or email her.” I gave what I hoped was a casual shrug. “If they don’t know any other psychics, connecting with someone who has the same talent could help make them feel not so alone.”

Felix nodded slowly. “Okay. It won’t hurt to ask them.”

I’d be googling the hell out of Cal when I got home.
