he remained focused on his daughter.
    “About my future…it was weird. She told me I was going to meet my husband soon. I don’t know about that,” Cassandra added wryly. “But she also told me there’s something bigger I want to do with my life.” Laying a hand on her father’s arm, she looked him in the eye. “She’s right, Daddy, I’ve been feeling it. I just don’t know what it is.”
    “Give it time, kitten.” Her father stroked her cheek lovingly. “It’ll reveal itself. I’d listen to what she has to say if I were you. Sophia has an uncanny way of knowing.” He shook his head. “A few years ago she told me that a partnership I was involved in was about to go sour. I took her advice and pulled out. Saved me a lot of money and probably some legal battles as well.”
    “She said she has more to tell me. Even suggested I write it down.”
    “About what? Did she say?”
    “No, she asked me to come by tomorrow,” Cassandra replied. “And Daddy, she said not to worry about her because she still has things to do before she goes.”
    “Hmm…,” her father frowned. “I wonder what she meant by that.”
    “Do you think she actually knows when she’s going to die?” Cassandra asked, not expecting an answer. “Do you think anyone can know that?”
    “Hard to say, kitten,” he mumbled. His attention was on the screen in front of them. Their team had scored to tie the game with less than a minute remaining.
    Cassandra smiled. He was right; her future would reveal itself; her questions would be answered. She sat back, content to enjoy the cozy evening with her father as she joined him in cheering for their favorite team.
    THE CROWD STOOD to its feet. The game was tied three-three, and the teams were facing off in sudden-death overtime. Jace drank in the excitement, the rush of adrenaline. The atmosphere was electric. Throughout the stadium, fans in home-team colors cheered in unison at every move their players made. Surrounding him were comrades with a single desire—seeing their team win.
    Then it happened. Less than a minute into the overtime period, their team’s star player got a breakaway and rifled a shot at the top right-hand corner of the net. Jace held his breath. The puck went in; the players’ hands went up in victory; the crowd went wild.
    Jace let himself get caught up in the euphoria. He’d never before been that close to victory, and he liked the heady feeling it evoked. Nothing had happened to him, yet his world had for the moment become bigger and brighter. Even the future seemed to offer more hope than before. He was tempted to question it, to analyze it, but quickly let that go. Life was too unpredictable. A feeling like that didn’t come along every day, and he wanted to make the most of it.

CHAPTER 4
     
    CASSANDRA AWOKE, eager for the day ahead. Her curiosity had been building, and she couldn’t wait to learn what her aunt wanted her to write down. She and her father had concluded that it must be Sophia’s life story. If that were so, Cassandra was touched that her aunt wanted her to document it. Lady Sophia Langdon had certainly led an interesting life. Regardless of who wrote her memoirs, it would be a compelling read. But is that to be my great work? she pondered. It’s an honor for sure, and yet… She shook her head. It didn’t quite match the “something bigger” that had been calling her. No, it’s more than that; I can feel it.
    She opted to borrow her father’s laptop and a small voice recorder, which she slipped into her pocket. The items helped her feel prepared as she left for her aunt’s place. Only one parking spot was available on the street near the apartment building, and Cassandra pulled in with ease. She enjoyed driving her father’s Aston Martin. It was an impressive vehicle, and it handled like a dream. A custom order, the paint color changed from luminous silver to fiery copper depending on the direction a person looked at it. The interior was
