Visions and Reunion
Soon thereafter, a devastated Paul nearly died in a car accident. He was saved by Meg, but left with precognitive visions. At first, thinking this a scam to win her back, Meg discounted his claims, but she became a believer when he correctly predicted a dangerous showdown with an angry widower at a blood drive. But though she believed Paul now, she had been shaken by the realization that an error on her part caused the widower's wife to die. She lost her job and began abusing alcohol and sleeping pills, having a one-night stand with Craig. Paul convinced her nevertheless to give him a second chance, and her willingness to trust him increased when she realized that he had genuinely changed and was using his visions to serve others.

Famous quotes containing the word visions:
“...I remembered the rose bush that had reached a thorny branch out through the ragged fence, and caught my dress, detaining me when I would have passed on. And again the symbolism of it all came over me. These memories and visions of the poor—they were the clutch of the thorns. Social workers have all felt it. It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
