asking me to tell you that she would like for you to tell their mother that they are together and happy.”
    “Okay.”
    Sunny felt some of the emotional grief ease up a little. This was one of the many reasons why she loved her gift. To be able to help those who hurt and offer some comfort. “He says that it was him the other night, but he won’t tell me what he did.”
    Eve’s smile was genuine and two red spots appeared on her cheeks. “It’s okay. I know what he’s talking about.”
    Sunny let it go. Even in this space, some things were private. “He says to be happy, and that he’s always there next to you when you need him. Now he’s waving and moving back a little. Do you have any questions?”
    “No, I think you covered it. I might think of a thousand later, but I think you covered the most important ones.”
    “He’s blowing you a kiss.”
    “He’s gone?” When Sunny nodded, Eve continued. “Thank you so much. I was so skeptical when I got here. When I told my family I was coming here, they were so free with their opinions and fraud warnings that I almost backed out. It was nothing like they said, and I’m so grateful.” She leaned back in her armchair.
    “You’re very welcome. I’m glad that you came and Donny showed up.”
    “But you’re so good. Don’t they always show up?”
    Sunny clicked the recorder off. “Thank you, but no, not always. It depends on the relationship they had here in the physical world. Spirits don’t usually lie, and sometimes they say hurtful things that aren’t very nice to the people that want to talk to them. People don’t always appreciate that the dead might not say what they want to hear.”
    Eve looked fascinated and leaned forward again. “Do you tell them?”
    “Depends on their motive and what their energy tells me. Being an empath, it’s very easy for me to know if what they’re saying is truly how they feel.” Sunny was pleased to see Eve’s aura brighten a few degrees. The green heart chakra still had some murky spots, but that would take time. She would give Eve some clearing meditation exercises to do at home to begin healing.
    “What do you do if they don’t show up at all?”
    “I usually refer them to one of my partners, Shade.”
    “Why?”
    “She’s the necromancer.” When Sunny saw Eve cringe at the word, she patted her hand. “It’s nothing like the movies would have you believe. Let me explain.” Sunny pulled three polished stones from the decorative bowl on the end table and placed one on the surface.
    “This is me. I can see and talk to people who have died, in the here and now. They appear in my mind’s eye as they want to, usually coming through as they were in their prime, or the age they feel was the best for them.”
    Sunny placed another rock to the left of the center one. “This is Tiffany. She perceives people and places as they were in the past by touch, called psychometry, or place memory. Her gift also includes the ability to find imbalances and heal someone’s energy.”
    “That’s called Reiki, isn’t it?” Eve asked.
    “Yes.” Sunny smiled at her. “Now.” She placed the last rock to the right of center and pointed to it. “This is Shade. She has the gift of precognition, the ability to see events that haven’t yet happened. She also has the talent to call spirits who have crossed over, even if they don’t want to come.”
    “That sounds so dangerous.” Eve shivered.
    Sunny nodded. “She has the darkest ability of all. So you see, each of us balances out with the other, though we overlap in most areas. Past, present, and future.”
    Sunny didn’t tell her of the blood oath they had sworn when they were eleven years old. How they vowed to be there for one another until death did them part. The ceremony had been as dramatic and solemn as three children could imagine. Sunny knew that neither she nor Shade nor Tiffany would ever break that promise.
    Eve popped up and gave her a tight hug.
