"Today," she says and she can be sure of that. She uses her powers a hundred different ways every single day, mostly in small, unimportant ways, but she would have known if it had happened yesterday. "Overnight, maybe. I used them yesterday to get that asshole at the Thai restaurant to give us a discount on dinner and then I tried again this morning and there was nothing. The guy at the coffee shop just looked at me like I was crazy."

It's not a feeling she likes. She's vulnerable now, open to anyone, open to other sirens. She doesn't like it at all.
