PATTERN
Through me rather than past me
What it is
Something comes across the room and goes through you rather than past you, and none of it shows until you are four streets away and have to pull over.
How it affects your life
In the room you are completely present and useful and the work is good. The cost arrives afterwards, in the car, with the engine running. It has happened twice this month, the first being the one about her husband and finding out the shape of a thing herself.
