“And all this is leading up to—what?” Mark asked.
“I’d like to establish a Psi department at Phoenix. I’m not saying put an ad in the paper, or anything crazy like that and have the
real
nuts on our doorstep. But let’s tap into the people Andy and Faith’s Aunt Vivi have connected us to. Let Vivi and her group act as guides who help us select the right people. Until we know more about what we’re doing, that is. We can teach these people how to use their abilities to help with investigations and they can become a powerful resource for Phoenix.”
“I can give you the name of some parapsychologists who’d love to participate in this,” Faith told him.
Dan nodded. “That’s exactly what we need. Professionals who can design and implement the program.”
“And who,” Mark asked, “would run this department? It’s not as if the rest of us are exactly sitting around with nothing to do. It will be a full-time job for someone, supervising everything, coordinating everything.”
“Well.” Dan cleared his throat. “Assuming Mike, Troy and Rick agree to it, I was hoping Mia would accept the job.”
He grinned at the astonished expression on her face.
“Me?” she squeaked.
“Who better? You said you didn’t want to go back to the museum. That you wanted to do something totally different.”
“Oh, say yes,” Faith cajoled. “You’d be absolutely perfect for it.” She looked at Mark. “I can help too, right?”
He grinned at her. “As if I could stop you.”
“We’d have to set some parameters on how we’d run it and when we’d use its…resources,” Dan added. “And it would also mean splitting our time between San Antonio, where we’ll all be living and Baltimore where the office is. What do you say?
And who knows? Maybe another treasure like you and Faith will pop up out of nowhere.”
Mia looked at him for a long moment, then jumped up and threw her arms around him. “I say a big
Yes
! I’d love it.” She lowered her eyelids shyly, lashes sweeping across her cheeks. “I actually had a vision.”
They all laughed.
“I’ll bet you did,” Dan joked as he wrapped his arms around her and his mouth descended on hers.
Neither of them was embarrassed by the deep kiss that followed, or the obvious heat that surrounded them. It didn’t take a vision to know that these two were made for each other and for a long life together.
About the Author
I always wonder what readers really want to know when I write one of these things. Getting to this point in my career has been an interesting journey. I’ve managed rock and roll bands and organized concerts. Been the only female on the sports staff of a university newspaper. Immersed myself in Nashville peddling a country singer. Lived in five different states. Married two very interesting but totally different men.
I think I must have lived in Texas in another life, because the minute I set foot on Texas soil I knew I was home. Living in Texas Hill Country gives me inspiration for more stories than I’ll probably ever be able to tell, what with all the sexy cowboys who surround me and the gorgeous scenery that provides a great setting.
Each day is a new adventure for me, as my characters come to life on the pages of my current work in progress. I’m absolutely compulsive about it when I’m writing and thank all the gods and goddesses that I have such a terrific husband who encourages my writing and puts up with my obsession. As a multi-published author, I love to hear from my readers. Their input keeps my mind fresh and always hunting for new ideas.
