“Both Moira and Cass announced that they are pregnant.”
“What?” Shep said and then grinned like a loon too. Moira was the daughter of his boss Jack Madigan and Shep had known her since she was a teenager. She was like a sister to him. And the same could go for Moira’s best friend Cass. And both the women had married into the Daniels family. “That is fantastic news. I can’t wait to see them both when I get home. I’ll have to stop in at the club.”
Moira owned and operated a fitness club and Cass helped manage it. Both of them were fitness instructors as well. He wondered how they would juggle their pregnancies with the club but knew that those two would manage just fine. He felt like he was going to be an uncle. It was great news.
“What is fantastic news?” Stace asked as she walked into the room.
Shep turned to look at her and was struck again by just how naturally beautiful she was. Her dark brown hair was back in another ponytail and her flawless face was without makeup. Still she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
“Stace,” Shep said reaching his hand out to her and pulling her further into the room. “Meet Ally and Blake. Ally, Blake. Stace Anders.”
“It’s very nice to meet you,” Ally said as she stepped forward and took Stace’s hand. Stace noticed immediately that Ally was a very natural person. She could see by the way the couple looked at each other, by the way the carried themselves that they were very much in love.
And Ally wasn’t what she’d expected. The woman was dainty, maybe five feet even in her bare feet. She had long black hair that was braided down her back and big green eyes. She looked like a tiny fairy. And as Blake was as tall as Shep, it was hard to picture the woman in the middle of them.
“I’m glad that you agreed to come and see what you might be able to do to help,” Stace said. “I’ll take all I can get.”
“We’re sorry to hear about your sister,” Blake said as he stepped up to take her hand and shake it. “Hopefully Ally will be able to lock onto something.”
“I’m curious and tend not to keep my thoughts to myself,” Stace said. “How exactly does your psychic thing work?”
“I usually use an object that the other person has touched, or been in contact with in some way, something recent,” Ally said. “If I’m lucky then maybe I can use that object to find a connection with that person.”
“Have you ever not been able to make a connection?” Stace asked.
“Yes,” Ally said. Stace liked the way the woman didn’t defend her talent. It was easy to see that Ally was just herself and it was up to the person whether they believed her or not.
“Did you ever find out why you couldn’t connect on those times?” Stace queried.
“Because the person I was trying to connect with was already gone,” Ally said softly.
Stace knew what Ally meant. The person had been dead. “So will you two want a room of your own or will you be sharing with Shep?” she asked and only realized what she had said when dead silence filled the room. Shit she had been thinking that but hadn’t actually meant to say it out loud.
“Well, I did say that I had a hard time keeping my thoughts to myself,” Stace finally said. “I would apologize but it won’t change what I’ve just said.”
Ally smiled at her and reached her hand out. She didn’t touch her hand like a normal handshake but let her fingers connect with the watch Stace was wearing on her wrist. “Hmmm,” Ally said. “I’ve never thought of that.”
“What?” Blake asked and Shep was eying them all.
“Shep didn’t tell us that you two were sleeping together,” Ally said and Stace just raised her brow. “ Which is unfair since he obviously told you about the three of us. ”
“You could tell we were sleeping together by touching my watch?” Stace asked.
“No,” Ally laughed. “I could tell that the moment you walked into the room. It’s in the way you
