said, “We’re always going
to be a team.”
    He understood clearly what his wife
was telling him: she would never choose anything over him.

CHAPTER 4
     
     
    Stephanie lay awake while Chaz
slept with his front against her back. Her mind was on the conversations she’d
had with Karen during the recent visit. While the men had gone bowling to give
the women some time together, the women had sipped tea and tried to figure out
what was going on with their auras and intuitions.
    Karen’s problem was quickly figured
out. She missed her best friend, and their link was strong enough that she was
sensitive to whatever was wrong with Stephanie, even though the vibes had been
so slight that neither of them had picked up on them. Even Victor, who was
incredibly intuitive, hadn’t understood the sudden change in his wife and how
that affected their relationship. As soon as they all agreed to see each other
in person, Karen’s personality had shifted and everything was back to normal in
her life.
    That meant that Stephanie was
driving everyone else’s reactions. It was a new development.
    “Your gift is changing,” Karen
deduced. “Your aura seems to have more green in it, which is one of the traits
you share with Chaz. I think you should get Phailin to do new charts on the two
of you.”
    “Why can’t you do it?” Karen obviously
hadn’t taken very long to gain a level of respect for the Asian woman’s
superior ability to see, understand, and balance people’s auras using Eastern
spiritual practices. After only slight hesitation, she’d even appreciated that
Chaz had introduced his wife to his friend who shared similar philosophies.
    “She’s more experienced than I am,
and there is definitely something going on because you’re able to see Chaz in
work settings that aren’t related to him being in danger.” She thought about
that for a moment. “I wonder if Steve McDaniels is highly intuitive and has sensed
the shift in your abilities. Maybe that’s why he wants to use you.”
    “I don’t know.” Stephanie leaned
her head back against the top of the sofa. “I’ve figured out what’s been
bothering me about my dreams.” Her head turned to face her friend. “I’m feeling
more than just Chaz. I can pick up on his tenseness, but I’m also feeling the
atmosphere of the room—not anyone else’s emotions, just whether or not it’s a
positive or threatening environment. It’s a subtle shift and I only figured it
out after meditating repeatedly about the dreams, as you suggested. But I don’t
have any details to connect those feelings to. I don’t know whether or not to
trust them.”
    Karen smiled. “If they have anything
to do with your husband, you can trust them.”
    Those words repeated over and over
in Stephanie’s mind as she lay in bed with the man she loved. She pulled his
arm more tightly, their entwined fingers resting against her thickening
abdomen. So much in their lives was changing.
    They were planning to have dinner
with Phailin and her husband, David, in a few days. She would talk to her
friend and would understand more after that. For now, she would try to get some
rest.

    “You’re right,” Phailin nodded as
she and Stephanie walked to their cars arm-in-arm after having dinner with
their husbands. “You’ve changed. You’re stronger than you think you are, so
stop doubting yourself. Chaz has changed, too. I’m not sure what this means;
I’m definitely going to do new charts and cross reference them with your
astrological tendencies. Honestly, I didn’t think the two of you could get much
closer, but I might have been wrong.” She gave her friend a brief hug. “I’ll be
able to tell you more in about a week.”
    “Thank you.”
    “In the meantime, do all that you
can to relax. Worrying won’t change whatever life has in store for the two of
you; it can only block your understanding. That might be what’s wrong with your
ability to sense and see
