DOING TIME on Earth: Unmasking the Hidden Mind Directing our Lives (Kindle Edition)

Marie could see that was the wrong answer.  She was trying not to cry.  She wrung her hands.

"I ... never lied to you ... about anything." 

"I know" he said quietly.

The door abruptly shut and she heard a wounded Sean speak from behind it.  "I … just can't get involved in this."  His voice sounded like he was nearly in tears.  It cut her heart out to hear the pain she had caused him.

Marie realized it was over between her and Sean.  She turned to go home, and then became aware of a force streaming through the closed door.  It came straight for her.  She could hear it; it sounded like hundreds of tiny bells.  She saw it, like white lines flowing in a wave pattern.  The huge wave of anger hit Marie and pushed her sideways.  It felt as though the door had hit her.  It hadn't.  She feared she would be knocked into the wall and threw her arms up defensively.  The anger felt like dozens of knives slicing through her body.  When it was over, she was smarting in pain.  Somehow, she was still standing.  Marie knew she was devastated, and she could feel the physical pain of the phantom knife attack, but she had no idea how badly her mind had been damaged from this attack.

Marie realized she had been utterly unprepared for this encounter.  She had blown it again, and for all time.  She felt a fool, and looked briefly at Sean's door, trying not to give in to tears and wondering if he saw her through the peep hole.  Marie realized she could not afford to show any emotion, lest Sean react again to her.  She knew another wave of his emotion could kill her.  She straightened herself, turned, and walked to her apartment, quietly closing the door behind her.
