* * *

After spending most of the day studying Reiki and then giving Jorge the go ahead to give me the first level attunement, I decide it’s time to visit the dogs again.

Jorge seems unconvinced. “Are you sure you don’t want to wait until tomorrow? See if you make any progress with the addition of Reiki?”

“Is that an end around to say you’re worried about me going down there? I haven’t checked in for several days now. What if something’s happened?”

He gives me a thoughtful stare, and I’m glad that he’s at least considering not arguing with me. I’m not feeling up to bullshit or a fight right now. The last thing I need is for him to get all protective on me.

“Yes, I worry about you, and I doubt anything has happened.” He sighs. “But I can see why you want to check in. I’ll go with you.”

His trust in me breaks down my fear a little more. “So let’s go.” I stand and head to get my shoes.

“I suppose there is no point in prolonging the inevitable.” With a grin, he follows me to get his shoes.

Once we’re properly attired for the outdoors and covered in dark clothing, we head out. Jorge grabs my hand, and we walk in silence to the quiet farmhouse down the street. Even though we could talk without speaking, we don’t. Instead, we stroll in the moonlight, serenaded by crickets and bullfrogs and all the other night creatures. If I weren’t going to converse with imprisoned, abused dogs, this moment would be perfectly magical. And in some ways it is because I’m with Jorge and it’s easy and natural and fills me with such happiness, I almost find myself believing in true love.

“Chloe?”

My ruminations get interrupted by Gracie, and while I’m heartened to know she trusts me enough to initiate a conversation when she senses me getting close to the property, I am loath to leave the daydream of the walk here.

Then I realize we’re not even to the property yet. I stop, pulling Jorge up short with me.

“What?” His face is instantly on alert.

I’m so excited that my range has expanded, be it ever so slightly, that I almost reply out loud, but swallow my initial sounds. “I can hear Gracie already.”

He smiles and squeezes my hand. “I knew you could do it. Your work is paying off.” He leans over and kisses my cheek.

“Chloe?” Gracie questions again, and I snap my attention to her.

“I’m here.”

“Good. I was afraid you might not come back.”

“I will always come until I get you out of there.” I hope that I can get her out of there and keep that promise. I can’t let myself think I won’t be able to, and focus in on her. “Have you learned anything new? Do you know when they might take you somewhere again?”

“No. They haven’t been around much the last few days.”

At first, I feel her relief at not having to face her captors, but then I notice her hunger and thirst.
