She was touched by the Gift as they exited the building and she saw her life unspooling in front of her, just as Cassie predicted.

Every time I read or re-read one of your stories, I'm taken to an unexpected places.
You describe things so clearly and simply

I really enjoyed the pacing, the timing just mysterious enough to keep me wondering until it "unspooled" :)
