Scarlett slept in my arms. She didn’t wake when I laid her gently against the pillows and got up. I was going to leave… for her sake. I even felt for the pill in my pocket, closing my fingers around it.

Did I have to use it? Wasn’t there another way? Gazing down at her, I noticed the bruise on her neck. Erin was right. I would only keep hurting Scarlett.

But she was my sweet beautiful tragedy. I understood her pain. It was her vice of virtue. She felt too much. More than anything, I wanted to stay with her, so she wouldn’t ever have to be alone again.

According to Erin, the portal couldn’t be opened until the new moon on Friday the thirteenth at the stroke of midnight, Pacific Standard Time. Scarlett’s alarm clock said it was 5:01 a.m., Wednesday, the eleventh.

There’s still time.

I stripped off my jeans and shirt and crawled into bed again beside Scarlett. She murmured and pressed against me.

Through the partially opened curtains, I saw the gray dawn outside. I felt like sleeping for a long time and when I woke, I would feel like having sex, and I thought it would be nice to go on like that, for a few more nights.

I closed my eyes.

Scarlett’s breathing was slow and even but I couldn’t relax. The numerals on the clock were too bright. I reached down and unplugged it. Then I got up and closed the curtains so the room went black.

That’s more like it, I thought, as I got back into bed.
