"Relax, Isabel. Just rest. I’ll be fine.”

I had managed to manifest myself a big, cushy sofa in the dark recesses of my mind. In fact, just by imagining it, I was able to transform the formless, dark hole I was currently trapped in into a replica of my living room. With a few improvements, like the sofa, my mental self was quite cozy. And exhausted.

Sue Hardy was in control now. She spoke through my mouth and fidgeted with my fingers as my mental form lounged. She was rummaging through my closet, looking for something to wear. Apparently, I dressed like a hooker. Maybe Devon wasn’t so wrong about me after all.

“It’s not that,” she said. “It’s only that I’m not comfortable showing so much skin.”

Sue had lived and died in a time where women still wore heavy tights and long dresses to the beach. It was no wonder she was nervous in my closet. Not that I was big into showing skin, but what was conservative to me was downright whorish to her.

How about the jeans and the blue blouse?

She shook my head. “It’s too… satin.”

Just wear a T-shirt then, I growled. My exhaustion, impatience, and general lack of a body were making me grumpy.

She sighed, resigned. “Fine.”

She slowly slipped on my jeans and a dark green T-shirt. Tugging at the loose strands of my wavy, brown hair, she twirled them expertly in her fingers. Plucking two bobby pins out of my jewelry box, she pinned back the twists at the crown of my head, then she wrestled the rest into a bun. She looked herself over in the mirror. I had to give her credit; we looked great, if a little old fashioned.

“Are you sure Shane won’t mind spending the day with me?” she asked, a light flush developing in my cheeks.

He owes me one. It’ll be fine. I yawned and stretched. The imaginary sofa was really quite soft.

“It’s alright. You get some sleep, Isabel. I can handle it for one day.”

I grunted, not convinced. As it was, it’d be a miracle if Shane didn’t notice something was seriously off. But Sue promised to be very careful and, to be honest, a day of resting didn’t sound so terrible.

I’m fine.

“Liar.”

“Hey, are you talking to somebody?” Shane asked through my bedroom door.

Sue smiled and crossed the room to open the door. Shane was leaning against the wall on the other side, his face stiff with concern.

“Just talking to myself.”

He frowned, and she smiled. I groaned.

“Shane, I was thinking, would you like to go on a picnic with me today?” Sue asked, batting my eyelashes.

Shane tilted his head suspiciously, as if he couldn’t decide if I were joking or not.

“While I was sitting in the hospital,again,” she drew the word out, “I decided that I need a little break. Just a day. But I don’t really want to be alone. You know, in case my head goes fuzzy again.” She reached up and touched the bandage still covering the better part of my forehead.
