Tap, tap, tap…

A repetitive sound pulls me out of what feels like the worst night of sleep I’ve had in a long while.

Tap, tap, tap…

There’s something oddly familiar about that sound.

I open my left eye.

Sure as shit, Blake is seated on my couch opposite me. His left leg is twisted over the cushions and his right is resting on the floor. He’s looking at me, but tapping the window pane with the middle finger of his left hand.

Tap, tap, tap…

I shift slightly in my recliner. How in the hell I managed to sit on it is a mystery, but I’ll assume it was Blake this time as well.

“Please tell me I haven’t traveled into the past,” I mutter under my breath. I start to laugh, but grope at the sides of my head. My brain feels like it wants to make an appearance on the outside of my skull.

“Diana, what in the hell are you doing?” Blake asks, concern tightening his features as he twists around to face me.

“Is that a rhetorical question? Or—?”

He narrows his gaze and scoots to the edge of the couch with his hands clasped in front of him.

When I don’t answer him, he sighs heavily. “Are you just trying to give me a heart attack? Do you find it funny?”

I shake my head. “I’m not entirely sure I—”

“I got this—feeling—that something was up with you. You were agitated and I don’t know, something… I figured you were upset with Cat again or maybe you weren’t able to find Brenna and Colton. But then, my connection to you, this thing that’s been so strong since we—” his eyes flick up to mine and he presses his lips tight.

I squirm in my seat because I know exactly when it happened and I wish like hell I still felt it.

“Nice that you still get to feel me,” I mutter, trying not to be jealous.

“Well, this connection we have, it feels like a constant thrumming in the center of my body. I’ve gotten so used to it that it almost fades into the background of who I am now. But for a few hours there, you would fluctuate in and out…”

There’s so much pain hidden in his eyes and my heart aches for him. I certainly didn’t mean to worry him for—

“A few hours?” I sputter, sitting up straighter. “What time is it?”

Blake glances at his watch. “A quarter to seven.”

My mouth drops open.

Three and a half hours.

It felt like minutes.

I glance at the candles on the coffee table. They’ve burned themselves completely out.

A breath escapes my lips as I lean back in my chair.

“That’s not the worst of it,” Blake says, his voice barely a whisper.

My eyes dart back to his.

“When I found you—you were convulsing. Like you were having a seizure on the floor. I was scared to death, Diana. I thought something was really, really wrong.”

“I—I’m sorry. I didn’t realize,” I whisper, feeling extremely guilty that I didn’t at least let him know what I was planning on doing.
