depended on the others for survival. Mia was depending on her. She didn’t want to think about it, didn’t want to accept her connection or the responsibility it put on her shoulders. Refusing to believe it had given her a decade of normality, and cost her a cherished friend. Then Nell had come, and the circle had formed again. The power of that had been so brilliant, so strong. As if it had never been locked away. It had been hard, very hard, to turn the key again. Now there was Mac. She had to decide if he was the next link in a chain that would drag her down, or the key to another lock. She wished with all her heart he could be just a man. Mia’s laughter drifted out of the cave, and Ripley straightened. How did she do that? Ripley wondered. How did she turn herself around in such a short span of time? She started toward the cave just as Mia and Mac stepped out. For an instant she saw another woman, hair bright as flame, sweep out of that dark mouth. Bundled in her arms was a sleek black pelt. The vision wavered, blurred, then slid away, like a painting left out in the rain. It left behind the vague headache that those images always brought with them. Ten years, she thought again. For ten years she’d blocked it all.

Now it was seeping back, liquid through cracks in a glass. If she didn’t shore up those cracks it would all break free. And never be contained again. Though her knees had jellied, she strode forward. “So, what’s the joke?” “Just enjoying each other’s company.” Mia wrapped her arm around Mac’s, sent him a slow, warm look from under her lashes. Ripley just shook her head.

“Get the goofy grin off your face, Booke. She does it on purpose. What is it about you and men, Mia? You get within two feet of one, and his IQ drops below his belt.” “Just one of my many talents. Don’t look so flustered, handsome.” She rose to her toes to kiss Mac’s cheek. “She knows I never poach.” “Then stop teasing him. He’s starting to sweat.” “I like him.”

Deliberately Mia cuddled against Mac’s side. “He’s so cute.” “Is there any way I can enter this conversation,” Mac wondered, “without sounding like a moron?” “No. But I think we’re done now.” Ripley hooked her thumbs in her jacket pockets. “How’s your head?” “Nothing a bottle of aspirin won’t cure.”

When he reached up to probe gingerly at the knot, Mia asked, “Did you hurt yourself? Let me see.” She was a great deal more gentle than Ripley had been, but just as firm. After she took a look, she hissed out a breath. “You might have had some compassion,” Mia snapped at Ripley. “It’s just a

scratch.” “It’s seeping blood, swollen and painful. None of which is necessary. Sit,” she ordered Mac and gestured at a tumble of rocks.
