I was in my quarters, trying to get myself back under control, to stop crying and just breathe. Everything that happened in Wolfe’s office…I still didn’t understand why I freaked out. Was it really about the necklace?

Or was it because I’d been holding back every single feeling since I’d realized I wasn’t in Kansas anymore? I was in a completely different time, and all that pain was waiting for me to slip up.

Well, I definitely slipped.

I buried my face in my hands as I remembered exactly how out of control I’d been. So what if I meant everything I’d said? It was something I never planned to actually say out loud to Wolfe. Why did he have to go and tell me he wanted to be more than my Captain? I totally could’ve been overreacting, and he could’ve just meant that he wanted to be friends; an innocent statement. Maybe he wanted to be best friends? It sounded ridiculous to me, but I didn’t know him well enough to assume what he was trying to say.

Even the idea of the possibility that he’d consider…I couldn’t even think about it, the thought terrified me so much. Even if I got closer to Wolfe, and gave it a chance, I’d have to tell him about my secret at some point, and tell him about my past.

I didn’t think I could tell him. I didn’t want to.

Wolfe never outright said what I suspected he meant, but it was there. It was like a huge rock in my chest.

My heart twinged. It wasn’t his fault; things just happened sometimes. But I asked, that stupid little voice reminded me. I demanded to know what he thought I was worth. At least I didn’t have to worry about him kicking me off of the ship for a while. Not until I did something else incredibly stupid.

I rolled over and covered my head with the blanket. The lights were off, but I wanted that extra layer of darkness; of protection. How did a simple conversation about lore turn into this mess?

It was mostly my fault. Okay, it was all my fault.

What was I supposed to do now? Naturally, I wanted to avoid Wolfe. His words left too many unanswered questions. Questions I didn’t have the courage to ask.

The blankets and pillows created a comforting cocoon. My fingers wrapped in the fabric as I wondered what I should do about Wolfe. I could always ignore the problem until it went away, or blew up in my face. Despite the possibility of an extremely messy situation if things went south, it was my best bet for sanity. I’d wanted the truth, and now I had it – to a degree.

I was such a coward.

The darkness pressed around me, warm and comforting. I closed my eyes, and my muscles relaxed slowly. I started to mentally put everything back in its place. The conversation with Kevin, and how he wanted to wait for me until the procedure was over, I tucked that away first.
