You don’t look good,” I told Noah after we pulled into the clearing by the lake.

Dark circles shadowed his blood-shot eyes and his golden-brown curls were plastered to his forehead with sweat.

“Thanks,” he mumbled. “I can’t sleep.”

“Take some valerian root. That always knocks me out.” My mom was really into natural remedies, and that had been one of her favorites.

Noah didn’t seem impressed. He glared at me. “I can’t.”

“Oh.” I put my hand on his. “Hey –”

He pulled his hand away. “She’ll kill you if she has to.”

I rolled my eyes. “I don’t think –”

“Yeah?” he said, swinging an angry gaze toward me. “Well I do.”

“Why?” I asked. “Sarah’s already got what she wants.”

“No,” Noah said softly. “Sarah can control my actions, but she can’t control my heart. She’s not going to stop until she’s taken away everything that makes me my own person.”

It took a moment for the words to sink in. Even then, I wasn’t sure what he meant, and I was too nervous to ask. I could only look at him, his eyes searching my face for something. I didn’t know what.

“It doesn’t end well for her,” I said finally.

He furrowed his eyebrows as I reached into my bag, pulling out my sketchpad. I opened to the picture I’d drawn of Sarah’s furious expression, hell glinting in her stony eyes.

“She’s gonna lose everything,” I whispered, my fingertips roving over the harsh pencil lines on the page.

Noah scooted close enough to rest his cheek against the top of my head. “Before we do?”

“I don’t know.” I shook my head. “My gift is pretty limited. It’s never helped me before, and I still don’t know how it’s supposed to save you.”

When I felt him pull away, I peered up at him. He was chewing on his lip, staring across the lake.

“I have an idea,” he said, nodding as though trying to convince himself of something. His attention snapped back to me, determination in his eyes. “I want to bring you somewhere. To meet someone.”

“Can we do that? Without Sarah finding out?”

“Kind of.” Noah rubbed his hand over the side of his face, flatting his overgrown sideburns as he scraped against the soft shadow of his jaw. “Do you think your dad would let you go away for a weekend?”

“With you?” I asked.

He smiled, fast and mischievous. “You wouldn’t even ask him, would you?”

“I wouldn’t ask him if I could go with you,” I said slyly. “But I’d ask him if I could go.”

Noah groaned and dropped his head back. “If he finds out I put you up to this, he’ll hate me.”

“But if we don’t go, you’ll probably never meet him.”

He skipped over his response to that with, “I know someone who might be able to help you with your gift.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “She’s the one who told me to find you.”

I recognized that apologetic frown of his. “Oh, don’t worry. We can skip all that. That whole ’how at first you were using me, then you fell for me, and now you want to be with me’ bit.
