Voluntarily choosing to live in a haunted house took an extraordinary
amount of desperation. Or perhaps determination was the better word.
Either way, Lucky Hart possessed an ample supply of both.
“Next.” The receptionist—Gayle, according to her nameplate—signaled
her forward. “I need to see your ID. Glasses off, please.”
“I have an appointment. Lucky Hart.” She removed her dark sunglasses
as requested.
Gayle’s hair had been cut into a severely angled bob that framed her
equally sharp jawline. She dressed as if she’d walked right off the page of a
high fashion editorial spread with her glowing, sun-kissed skin and svelte
figure. Her eyes and smile were kind, but unfortunately also betrayed
precisely who she was. She lived with an insidious type of exhaustion that
no amount of sleep could remedy. It burrowed into her bones, hollowed
them out, until she had nothing left and yet somehow continued on. She
relied heavily on ambition to keep from collapsing. No matter how many
times she crossed that line of living to survive, her endless desire for more,
for better, for everything, would never allow her to fail.
Interesting.
That was the thing about Lucky—she had an uncanny knack for first
impressions. Looking at someone’s eyes told her nearly everything she
needed to know about them.
After completing a visitor’s sheet, Gayle escorted Lucky to a back office
and then excused herself.
“Ah, Miss Hart. Please have a seat.”
Three people sat around a table inside the room and, well, that was two
too many new windows for Lucky’s liking. She couldn’t control her ability,
so she swiftly slipped her dark sunglasses back on. They managed to block
her first impression readings a solid ninety-five percent of the time.
“Thank you,” she said as she sat down.
“My name is Castor Paulson.” He was a white man with a round body
and chubby cheeks, and he wore a suit that fit him like a dream. His most
distinguishing feature was a walrus mustache—brown sprinkled with salt
and pepper, same as his hair.
“Castor doubles as our casting director and HR manager. I’m Stephen.
We spoke on the phone.” Also a white man, except he was bald with a
muscular build and could double as Bruce Willis’s The Fifth Element
tethered.
“That’s quite the face you have,” she joked.
“I’m aware.” His indulgent, welcoming smile made her like him
instantly. She didn’t need to know anything else, which was saying
something considering what she could do. “And this is my business partner,
Xander Hennessee.”
“Hello, Ms. Hart.” Even though he was sitting she knew he was a giant
—long limbs, strong bone structure, and lean muscle. His hazel eyes
warmed his pale skin, and he also wore a suit, deep cerulean in color with
shining gold cuff links. “Is it too bright in here?”
“No.”
“Is there a particular reason why you’ve chosen to wear sunglasses
indoors?”
