Chapter 19

• The eight sat in a circle on the living room floor, surrounding a plate, with small candles burning on it. Candles that had appeared from thin air, for as far as Owen knew, he didn’t keep any in the house. To his right sat Leena. To his left, Cora, across from him was Chris, who held Rachel’s and Kasey’s hands.
• Leena spoke quietly to Owen. “Hold each hand lightly in a comfortable position, and close your eyes. We’ll do the rest.”
• He dropped his head down, relaxed, and closed his eyes. He could hear a few chanting softly. He startled and almost let go of Cora’s hand when he felt heat go through his hand and up his arm to travel all the way through him, then down his other arm into the hand that Leena held. It didn’t burn but was more of a warm energetic tingle.
