That's what people call it. It's the ley line that runs through town, it's a pathway where spiritual energy and magic are most strong. [ she will settle there, actually, because she's telling him all of this to prove a point but it's also a Story. ]
Every year there's one night my mom and I go out to a church that's on the ley line, because she can see the spirits that walk through on that road on that evening. If they appear, they're going to die within the year. So she asks for their names, and I write them down, and if they're clients or people we know we tell them so they have time to prepare. I can't usually see them though. Last year was the first year I went with someone else other than my mother. And last year was the first year I ever saw anyone at all. When Gansey appeared, I thought... it didn't make sense, but I could see him clearly. Rain-spattered. In his stupid Aglionby sweater. And when I told everyone what I saw, it was determined that either I was his true love, or I killed him.
I hadn't met him yet. I didn't know what to think, but it didn't feel real.
