That a sister I have no recollection of is the one responsible? Psychics aren’t to be believed. They’re all smokes and mirrors, that much I’ve always known. But what if she’s the exception to the rule? What if she’s right? Those are all logical questions, of course. The problem is, she could be wrong.
