Sarah blinked, and her sister was gone.

Sarah stepped off the towel and looked out at the ocean. Cape Cod during the summer was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. It was an interesting mixture of beach, town, and sand dunes. But today, the water was a shimmering green, and she thought she would never want to leave.
Before coming here, she had made a quick stop at Veronica Anand’s home, Michelle’s mother. Sarah had told her that Michelle wanted her to know that she was there, watching over her. Veronica had broken down in tears and held Sarah for a long time, as though she were holding Michelle.
Giovanni lay next to her in the sand, staring out at the water as he sipped a Heineken. The way his hair fell over his face, his sunglasses pushed up onto his forehead, he looked more like a beach bum than a special agent with the FBI.
“You know what Kyle told me?” he said. “He said that he’d like to test you some more.”
She grinned. “I think I’m done being his lab rat for a while.”
“I think he wants to verify your… well, abilities, I guess. But if he’s not convinced yet, I don’t think anything’s going to convince him. He has an eye to bringing you on as an agent. You’d have to go through Quantico, but that’s the fun part. You’d still have to apply, but I think Kyle would personally walk your application through. If you wanted it.”
“Why would I possibly want that?”
“Because you have something that can help other people. People that might not have anyone else to help them.” He took a sip of beer. “Or, we can start a one-eight-hundred number reading people’s futures and retire. Up to you.”
She laughed. “You want me telling people their love lives are going to improve or they’re going to have a business opportunity presented to them? Things like that?”
“Well, you’d have to fake an accent and wear weird scarves and stuff. Not sure you could pull it off.” He finished the beer and put the bottle down next to the cooler. “I’m serious, though. I think you’d be good at the Bureau.”
She shook her head. “Maybe. I’ll think about it.” Exhaling, she lay back in the sand and let the warm sun soak into her body. “But not today.”
