The alarm on Aurora’s heart monitor woke Jordan. Her heart rate had spiked, but it was settling back to normal. “Stay with me,” he said.

She didn’t stir.

A nurse rushed into the room, but he assured her Aurora was fine, so she left.

He was holding her hand and rubbing his thumb over her skin. “I lost you once and damn it, I won’t let that happen again.”

He brushed a strand of hair away from her cheek. “Are you in there?”

It was three a.m. and the full moon shone through her room. The summer before she’d moved, he and Aurora would sneak out on full-moon nights and dare each other to run the furthest into the forest. Then one day, that little girl down the street and her mom packed up and left town in the middle of the night. Kids at school whispered that The Woodsman had chased them away. Then Aurora was too scared to sneak out at night anymore. Truth was, he’d been scared, too.

And he was scared again when she moved away. He shouldn’t have let their relationship fall apart after she left. He let her push him away after Rexy died. He thought it’d be easier to move on if they stopped talking. They lived hours apart, and she never returned to Goose Valley. Why keep longing after someone who was gone? It hurt too much.

But staring at her pale and motionless in bed had him more scared than he’d ever been in his life.
