know, nothing is going to happen to Rourk.”
    She drew in a relieved breath. “Then it’s me?”
    He rolled his eyes. “Don’t be so vain. The world doesn’t revolve around you, Keegan.”
    Her shoulders relaxed slightly. “You’re not going to tell me anything, are you?”
    “Nope. Just enjoy your visit with your brother and don’t over-analyze it. It’s good to see you, by the way.”
    “You too.” Keegan sighed. She knew her brother wasn’t going to tell her anything more. She had to trust that if there was anything he could do to prevent something bad happening in the future, he would do it. He’d done it before for her, and she knew he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. He claimed that his visions were not always reality. They were just one potential outcome, and sometimes just changing one moving part could change everything. And not always for the better.
    It put her mind at ease when he told her nothing was going to happen to Rourk. Slightly. Her brother’s gift was a burden, and she wasn’t going to add to it by bugging him even more. She would just enjoy the time she had with him.
    Letting him off the hook, she switched gears. “So what’s been going on with you? Any girls in your life?”
    They stepped outside, and the crisp air hit their face. Thankfully, it wasn’t raining, but it was overcast. Keegan smiled; even the gloomy Seattle weather couldn’t dampen her good mood.
    A slow smile spread across his face. “Well, there is this one girl that I met at the library, Emma. We’ve been chatting, but nothing more than that.”
    “What does she look like?” Keegan had no idea what her brother’s taste was in girls, but she also knew it wouldn’t matter once he met his chosen. His ideal mate had been predetermined, probably before his birth, so anyone between now and then would just be filling in time.
    “She’s petite, long blonde curly hair and athletic figure. Human.”
    “Interesting.”
    “Not really. So how are Anna and Tommy?”
    “The usual. Madly in love and crazy as loons.” Keegan laughed as she pulled out of the parking spot.
    They caught up on family gossip on the drive to her house. She was excited for him to see her first home with Rourk.
    After giving him a quick tour of the small house, Keegan started a fire, and then ordered a pizza. They sank into the couch with sodas and chips.
    “So have you gotten any better at shielding your gift?” Keegan asked curiously.
    “Not going to happen. I’ve just accepted it’s how my brain and body works.”
    Keegan took a swig and wiped the corner of her mouth. “That sucks.”
    “Yeah, but I guess if I could turn it off, I might miss something important.”
    “Still, it has to be hard.”
    “It’s all I know.” Thaddeus set his soda down on the coffee table, not bothering to use a coaster.
    “How’s Warrick? I see him on Skype once a week, but it’s not the same as actually watching him grow up.”
    Thaddeus shook his head and grinned. “That boy is giving mom and dad a run for their money. He’s a handful, to say the least. When I went to leave, Warrick kept using the wind to shut the car door before I could get in. I almost missed my flight, because he didn’t want me to leave.”
    Keegan covered her mouth, laughing. “Gods, I miss his little face.”
    “Mom says he’s worse than the two of us combined.”
    “I know! I can’t believe he got kicked out of kindergarten and Mom has to homeschool him. I can’t even imagine how that is going.”
    “Yeah, you don’t want to know. Mom’s about ready to pull her hair out.”
    “Any more progression with his gift?”
    “I guess that’s one way to say it.”
    Thaddeus sat back on the couch, looking relaxed. “It’s a powerful tool, controlling the elements. Or I guess you could say having no control of the elements. You should hear the weather man. It’s hilarious. Unexplained flooding, cold front moving through in July, a twister in December.” Thaddeus
