cookies herself and patted Aqua on the hand now and then. When the tear filled story was finally out Wanda got up and hugged Aqua tight and said, “that bastard,” like only a true friend would.
    Aqua was stunned and yet so relieved that Wanda hadn’t run screaming from her store that she cried again. “You believe me?”
    “Of course I do, Girl. Now the question is do you want to get that damn man back or not, cause I’m considering hurting him myself right now.” Wanda said while handing Aqua another cookie.
    Aqua munched and thought about that question. Did she want him back, what if he believed her and they could be happy together? She knew that there was a strong connection and that she was in love with him. Even now she could tune in to his thoughts if she wanted. When she calmly thought it through she realized that asking him to believe her without proof was asking a lot. She would have loved it if he had but his logical cop mind didn’t let him believe that way.  He was a prove it kind of man and if she really loved him she was going to have to keep that in mind.
    “Yep, he’s toast and gonna be mine,” she finally said with a smile. Wanda laughed and the pair ordered pizza and spent the next couple hours discussing ways to show the man the light. For the first time since he’d left her apartment Aqua flipped the switch and tuned in to his thought. She would need all the help she could get to make a believer out of Blu.
    Blu was still torn about what had happened. He couldn’t wrap his mind around it and found himself trying to rationalize what Aqua had said. Deep down he knew what he was doing was wrong but he couldn’t help himself. That he didn’t call her or stop by to make sure she was alright was telling as to how unsettled he was. His guilt was driving him crazy. He turned on the radio to his favorite station to try and block out his thoughts.
    “That folks was ‘ The Crime I’m Guilty Of’ by Blue Moon Rising,” the announcer told the listeners. Blu’s mouth dropped open and he pulled over and shut the Bronco off. He just sat there for a few minutes before he laughed at himself and shaking his head got back on the road. That was just one of those crazy coincidences he told himself. “Coming up next is ‘ The Big Ones Get Away ’ , title track from Buffy Sainte-Marie’s ‘Coincidence & Likely Stories’ album.” Blu hurried and turned the radio off and headed home. He needed a beer. Bad.
    Aqua turned the switch off and poured herself and Wanda another glass of wine. This was kind of fun, in a mean way. They watched a movie and Aqua told Wanda how lucky she felt to have her as a friend. Aqua slept peacefully that night for the first times since Blu had walked out. She had a plan.
    Aqua had decided that she didn’t want to freak Blu out completely so they would go slow with his further introduction to physic phenomenon.  So, she only tuned into his thoughts now and then and didn’t do anything for a few days until the next weekend. She knew he had Saturday off and she thought it would be better not to freak him out on the job.
    Saturday morning Blu slept in but woke up, after dreaming about Aqua, in a bad mood. He was frustrated but didn’t know what to do next. He made a cup of coffee and looked at his list of chores that needed done for the weekend. He decided he’d rather head to the ranch to see his how his Mom was doing and he could catch up on the ranch books while he was there. He knew there would be bills to pay.  He fixed a quick breakfast got dressed and headed out to the ranch. He sang to himself, still not daring to turn the radio back on.
    Blu enjoyed a nice visit with his folks and went to the barn to see the horses. He was calmer and felt more relaxed after spending some time at the ranch which always centered him. After dinner he headed to the office to work on the books. He hated the work but was the only one that could make sense of his father’s system. He
