Selene dropped onto the counter stool. “Latte. Double shot.” She crossed her arms on the counter and let her head fall. It rose a second later, “please,” then fell once more.

“Damn, girl. Again?”

A thumbs up was all she managed in response. Her latte landing on the counter, however, was another matter. She grasped the cup with her left hand, using her right to prop up her head. “Thanks.” Rather than move away, Ana continued to watch her. “What?”

Ana shook her head. “I see your lips move, but I can’t believe it’s you talking. It’s kinda creepy.”

Selene’s laugh cut in and out. Meh, it was a work in progress.

“So, same dream? Or something different this time?”

A groan escaped Selene’s lips. “It’s the same every night. Wolves and vampires chase me. I trip, what a surprise and the vampire bites me. Then I am floating in the air watching myself die, white light is coming to get me, and then BAM, I’m hurtling to the ground and when I hit, I wake up, drenched in sweat, and breathing way too hard. It’s the third time this week I’ve had to change the sheets.”

This time Ana laughed. “And the red-headed bitch? Did she get hauled off by the gargoyle?”

“Arabella?” Selene frowned. “Yeah, Gabriel flew off with the wicked witch of the north who is never seen or heard from again.”

Ana pressed a hand to her heart. “You know, I think that’s my favourite part.”

“Mine too.” Selene grinned as she sipped her latte. “Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you. Is everything good with you? When you called me at the shack, I got the impression something was bothering you.”

The tiniest hint of colour was visible on Ana’s cheeks. “Nothing worth mentioning. Past tense.”

If not for her fatigued state, Selene might have argued the point, but for now, she let it go.

Behind the counter, Ana continued to work, while Selene took up space and sipped her latte. “I get that the whole dream freaks you out, but you should write it down. Make an awesome story. Add in some of your fabulous drawings, you’d make a fortune.”

She screwed up her nose. “Yeah, nah.”

Ana shrugged. “Your loss.” Behind her, something crashed in the kitchen and she rolled her eyes. “Be right back.”

When the door closed, Selene reached into her bag and drew out her sketchpad. So she might not have been completely honest with her bestie. While she wasn’t interested in committing her nightmare to print, she hadn’t been able to resist bringing the creatures to life. Part of her hoped it might help bring an end to her sleepless nights. Arabella, Silas, Gabriel, the wolves, even Julius, the vampire who’d bitten her, ended her life, she’d drawn them all.

In the middle of flipping a page, she paused. The urge to turn around taunting her like a siren call, but she didn’t need to. Her eyes drifted closed, and she saw him. Hands shoved in his pockets, head down, shoulders tight with tension, as he ambled past, never once looking her way.
