“Hey,” whispered Jack, “welcome back.”

“How long this time?” she asked, knowing he understood her meaning.

“Just about five minutes, actually, so not nearly as long as all the others I’ve seen. Where’d you go?” He had laid her on the bed while she was unconscious, and he was sitting on the edge looking down at her, waiting for her response.

“I was here, actually, in this bedroom. But I think it was quite a long time ago. There was a piece of parchment paper on the bed and I was trying to look at it. There was a man on the balcony and I was hoping if I could look at it, I’d know who he was, because he wouldn’t turn around when I called out to him. He seemed lost in thought.”

“When I touched the paper, I was thrown backwards somehow and it took the breath right out of me. I think that’s why I came back so quickly.” She noticed the crease in his brow at her last statement. “What?” she asked, wanting to know his concern.

“No, he didn’t. What are you thinking, Jack?”

“I’m just wondering if any of the others here have considered that you can be injured while your mind is somewhere else. I mean, if you’re hurt there, what does that do to you here?”

“Well, when I fell, I came back here pretty quickly, so maybe I cannot be hurt while my mind and soul are traveling.” Alex sat up on the bed so that she could face him. This was the closest she had been to his face, for when he was standing he was much taller than she. She reached up with one hand and used her fingers to trace his worry lines away.

“Let’s talk to Archimedes and John about this once dinner is over. I’m supposed to have a lesson tonight to help me shield my thoughts, remember? That should be a good time to go over our concerns. Okay?” she encouraged.

He nodded slowly in agreement. “Sounds like a good plan, Miss Groaban,” he said, speaking her earlier words back to her.
