I was taken aback by this stranger’s admission. I assumed she must be overly grateful for me assisting in saving her life. Maybe this was why Joyce was always asking me questions about my dating life; she was trying to set me up with her daughter. That’s not weird at all.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Stephanie,” I said, holding out my hand.
She took my hand. When her skin contacted mine, I was overcome by a vision drenched in purple.
I could smell the rain, feel it against my skin. I was in a park, standing inches from Joyce’s daughter at the top of a slide. Her makeup running in the rain. ‘Your turn,’ she told me with a smile.
I withdrew my hand from her as the vision dissipated.
“Peyton,” I said, as the name materialized in my mind. She drew her eyes back up to mine and smiled.
