Once Trino and I ended the call, we all stood in stunned silence for a few moments. Not only had Dario dropped heavy information on us but Sephie and Misha had also seen what happened to Trino, seemingly as it was happening. How?

Sephie was still standing next to me, tucked into my side like she was made for that spot. I had a tight hold of her, feeling even more protective than usual of her. I’d lost count of how many times I’d told her that she was the most amazing woman I’d ever known, but she continued to raise the bar on that standard. I found myself curious to see what else she could do.

I glanced at Misha, who was still stunned at what had happened. He had his hands on his hips and was staring at the floor in front of him like he wasn’t sure what to do or say.

“Misha, how does your gut instinct usually work? Can you normally see things as they happen?” I asked him.

He snapped back to reality when I called his name. He looked to me, then to Sephie, then back to me. “I get snapshots of what’s going to happen, but it’s like still pictures. When Sephie was holding my hands, it was a full-on movie. In real-time, apparently.” He still looked stunned and almost baffled at what had happened. We all were, really.

I looked down at Sephie, who looked back at me. “Don’t look at me. I have no explanation,” she said. She looked just as stunned as Misha did.

I caught Ivan’s eye, then looked back at Misha. “If I’ve learned anything from Sephie, it’s that she shows you what your potential is,” I said. “She shows you how to get to the next level, if you will. Think of her like the Game Master.”

She looked up at me, smiling. “Calling me the Game Master implies I know what the hell this game is that’s happening with all of us. I’m in the dark just as much as the rest of you.”

“I think you’re selling yourself short, spider monkey. You might not be completely conscious of what’s happening, but you feel literally everything around you. I could tell you were anxious before Boss called Trino. It got worse when he didn’t answer. It got worse still when Misha had the same reaction. You know more than you think you do, Sephie,” Andrei said. Sephie looked at Andrei, but didn’t know how to respond. She was chewing on her bottom lip; her hands were starting to fidget as well.

“I saw her eyes go dark this time when she was talking to Dario too,” Ivan said. Stephen nodded beside him. “I did too,” he said.

I felt her anger rise quickly at the mention of the conversation with Dario, but she had it under control just as quickly as it appeared. She looked at Ivan.

“Holy shit, I see it now,” Viktor said. Sephie looked to me quickly, confused. “Blink, love,” I said, kissing her temple.
