Wait...... How did I not see that?<br/><br/>Jackie changed something. "Oh...! Shit." Suddenly I'm back in another blind spot. Her words about fun and not ordering and metabolism just wash over me. Suddenly all I can see is the present. That makes me start to panic until... Until Jackie kisses me softly on the lips. "I... Fun...? Ah... r-right. Sorry, I didn't see you objecting. I could see me ordering that, and .... could see the food arriving and us eating. I couldn't see you changing it. I ... don't know what path we're on now!" I spoke softly, looking around like I was telling her some government secret. Actually, I was trying to see. Trying to find an anchor point for the future that I could to get my bearings.<br/><br/>It was like looking at a two-dimensional photograph of the restaurant, or seeing it on a TV screen. The illusion of three dimensions is there but if you turn the picture or move your head the perspective doesn't change. Now imagine that with four dimensions instead of three. Somewhere in the recent past I had crossed into a dead zone, and I hadn't realised it.<br/><br/>I'm not panicking, I'm taking deep breaths and trying to be calm. The drinks arrive first and I glug half of mine down in one go. The sugar rush helps to restore my equilibrium. "Okay, sorry..." I take a deep breath. "I'm so used to being able to see the future that I forget most people can't, I forget what it's like to be 'normal', then something like this happens and, I'm plunged into this flat three-dimensional world where I can't see what's around the corner. It's like ... Like a video game." I'm trying to explain it. "In real life, you can look around a corner to see what's there, before you actually step around the corner. In a video game, you have to go around the corner before you can see what's there."<br/><br/>I look at Jackie as our food arrives and I realise something. She fills my vision. She is everywhere I look. I can't see around her. "It's you... You are ... Everything!" Instinctively I hold a hand out, blocking the path of a waiter carrying a tray of drinks. "Sorry, could I get another coke please? I'm thirsty." I smile at him and he assures me that will be no problem, then continues on his way, only to be held up again by another diner pushing his chair back sharply without looking. I smile and nod. "Okay, I can see stuff around us, like that waiter spilling his drinks all over the table behind you, but you, ninety-five-percent lover, are something of a mystery. You're so entwined in my future, you're in every time-line, every path. And I can't see past you."<br/><br/>I giggle and blush. "You're scary!"
