CHAPTER TWENTY

It was light when she awoke. The first thing Jane noticed was that she was alone in her bedroom. “Vincent!” she called out, sitting bolt upright as fear gripped her heart. “Vincent!”

He came tearing into the room, looking around wildly. “What? Are you okay?”

She jumped off the bed and into his arms. “I thought you left me.”

“No, not yet, but I’ve got to be getting back to my side pretty soon.”

“Are you getting weak?”

“A little, yeah. I don’t know how much good I’d be against a fully-charged Vasan right at this moment.”

Jane backed away a step and looked into his eyes. “Then let’s go.”

He reached out and cupped her cheek. “Are you sure?”

“From what you’ve told me, I’ve got some apologizing to do. And…” She looked away for a moment. “A father to get to know.”

“So you’re saying you believe me now?”

“I don’t think I have a choice. While I was asleep, I had a dream that matched damn near everything you said.”

“Yeah, you were kind of mumbling a little.”

“It was so real.” She eyed him for a moment. “I just want to know one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“Why did you tell me you’d loved me as long as you can remember? You were only seven when I was taken, and I was around two, you said.”

“I don’t know how to explain it. From the second you were born, you were mine. I’d hold you, rock you to sleep, play with you for hours on end. When I saw you again for the first time two years ago, it just hit me.”

“How old are you right now?”

“Thirty-seven.”

“So you’re only one year older than me? That doesn’t make any sense; you were five years older than me.”

“That time thing, remember?”

Jane nodded. “Well, if it makes you feel any better, I started falling in love with you when I thought you were Trevor. I don’t sleep with just anyone, you know.”

Vincent looked down at the floor. “That was my first time.”

“What? You were a…no way.”

“I told you, you were always in my heart.” He smiled a watery smile. “There’s never been anyone else for me, Jane, and there never will be.”

The impossibility of his convictions weighed heavily on her mind. How could people living in two different dimensions get involved like that? Knowing as little as she did about it all, however, she decided to just leave it as it was and worry about that particular aspect of all this later.

“Vincent, before we go over there’s something else I need to know.”

“Name it.”

“What is it you and your family need from me? Why all the work at making Darvon look like it was still alive? Why the charade as Trevor?”

Vincent turned and, as was his way, began to pace as he spoke. “Once we got the permanent portal built, there were still some glitches. As I said, we discovered I was the one who could last over here the longest, just through pure trial and error. Not to mention the fact that I was up Dad’s ass about being the one to make contact.
