"Max, you need to get down here right now."

The telephone call was barely above a whisper.

"Who is this?" My hand kept ghosting over the orange cat's back. My gaze stayed locked on the television. Oprah. I liked Oprah. Nothing about her reminded me of Jamie. She was never indecisive, overdramatic, or too loud one minute, too quiet the next. She was a completely Jamie-free zone.

"It's Jax. You need to get down here to Pete's right now. It's Jamie."

And then he said the words I never thought I would hear again in my lifetime.

"He's here."

For a moment, I was frozen in shock. And then I moved. My feet and the cat landed on the floor at nearly the same moment. Roger hissed at me for dislodging him, but it barely registered.

I drove there faster than I had in my deep fury. It's a wonder I didn't have an accident.

I knew it wasn't true, you see. But it was the first hope I'd had in months. The first clue of any sort. And everyone had forgotten Jamie but me. Oh, I would still get a little sympathy, but he was essentially gone for everyone else. He would never be gone for me. I didn't see how I could ever get over his loss.

I parked crookedly, jumped out, and left the motor running, the door open. I slammed through the door of Pete's.

Everyone in the room looked up.

Everyone but Jamie.
