Colby tried to probe his mind further to assess his injuries, but it was impossible. She gave up, the task too difficult in the face of her waning strength. I think we both need sleep, Rafael. She was shocked at how easy it was becoming to communicate with him. How right it felt. As if they did belong together, two halves of the same whole.

You’ve brainwashed me.

The terrible pressure in her chest weighing her down was gone and all at once she felt much happier. Her eyes were too painful to open, her skin was burning, and the stable was gone, yet she was inexplicably happy just to hear his voice. Knowing he was reading her thoughts and probably feeling smug, she directed one last message to him. How sickening of me.

Although Colby went into the barn to get out of the sun, she found she couldn’t open her eyes even in the darkened interior. She managed to dismount, but was forced to cling blindly to her horse until Juan steadied the animal, holding the reins. “You go on in, I’ll see to the horse.”

“Colby!” Paul raced into the barn, seeing his sister stagger as she dismounted. “What happened?” He glared at his uncle as he wrapped his arm around her smaller figure. “What did you do to her?” His voice was filled with belligerence and suspicion.

“Paul . . .” Colby’s voice was a gentle warning. “My eyes hurt. I can’t see very well. I must have damaged them in the fire earlier.

Your uncle was just trying to help me.” She leaned into him, relying on him to get her into the house. “Don’t be rude.” She buried her face into his shirt, stumbling blindly against him across the yard to the ranch house. She didn’t dare open her eyes. Now that she was home her eyes seemed to hurt even more.

Ginny rushed to her side. “What happened? You’re sunburned, Colby, it’s really bad.” At once she soaked a towel in cold water and pressed it into her sister’s hands.

Colby held the cool towel to her swollen eyes. She sank into a chair. “I can’t believe how much this hurts. I’ve never been so glad to be home.”

“I can drive you into town to the doctor,” Paul offered.

Colby took a deep breath and shook her head. “I think I just want to lie down for an hour or so.” She felt exhausted, the need to sleep so strong in her she was afraid she might succumb right there in the kitchen. She rubbed at her pounding temples. “I have so much to do.” 229
