25. Limbo

I was exhausted, like the life had been drained out of me, because it had been. I didn’t feel at all like driving home and really wished that Ethan was able to. Actually he could, but that obviously wasn’t a good idea.

“Are you sure you’re OK?” asked Ethan.

I laughed sarcastically. “No, Ethan. Not really. But physically, yes, I’m OK.”

I could see the hurt on his face. “I should have been there,” he admitted.

“You’re not going to be able to protect me forever. That’s been determined.”

He didn’t answer, seemingly unsure what to say next considering my fragile state.

“What did it feel like?” he asked.

I was already trying to forget, but I knew I never would. “At first it felt like the wind had been knocked out of me, just like when we were on the bridge and the biker went through me…but then I just felt numb. I was aware of everything that was happening, but I had no control over my body.”

“It’s difficult to exist but not really exist.”

I nodded in agreement. I was only a spirit for a few days and only possessed for a few minutes, but Ethan had been in limbo for so long. I didn’t know how he was still able to hold on, and I was the one enforcing it.

“What about him?” Ethan asked.

“Him?”

“Carlos. Could you feel him or hear his thoughts?”

“It felt like I could somewhat. I probably could have more if he had been in me longer, but thank God he wasn’t. It seemed like I could feel his emotion, though, like…deep sorrow and longing, especially for Penelope at that moment.”

“Yeah. I could see that.”

I had to smile. “You probably would have enjoyed that under different circumstances.”

He tried to hide his smile as well. “No comment,” he said.
