Chapter 19

Bliss smiled and was about to tell him the same when a vision hit her.

Leora screamed frantically for Trey. “Bring him to me. Hurry and bring him home.” Her screams turned to pleas until she sunk to her knees, tears streaming down her face.

It was difficult not to share in the woman’s suffering, and even though the vision was brief, the pain lingered though something about it troubled her. Bliss’s eyes finally fluttered open, and she was never so grateful to see Trey and realize that she was in the safety of his arms.

He had carried her closer to the water’s edge though he had kept them partially submerged as he cradled her in his arms.

“Are you all right?” he asked anxiously, and held her even tighter against him.

“Being in your arms always makes everything all right though I am sorry.”

“Why?”

“My vision intruded upon a very special moment for us.”

“Through no fault of yours,” he said. “Do you wish to talk about your vision?”

Now was not the time to discuss Leora’s begging for Trey to come home. She shook her head. “Not now.”

“Is there some reason you don’t wish to discuss certain visions with me?” he asked. “Could they possibly have something to do with me? Something you don’t want me to know?”

She would much prefer to discuss their love for each other though it would be much wiser and made more sense to discuss Leora now, before things turned intimate between them.

“I believe Leora is coming to me in visions.”

His whole body grew taut, and Bliss thought it best to ease herself out of his arms. She sunk lower in the water, suddenly feeling more vulnerable than naked in front of him, and casually moved to deeper water.

He followed, and she was glad she could sense that he did so thinking she needed the cover of the warm water to chase away her sudden chill. She didn’t want him to think that she was pulling away from him . . . or was she? Had the vision reminded her that there were things Trey still needed to settle?

“What does she want from you?” he asked.

She truly didn’t want to tell him that Leora wants his help, wants him to return to her. It would only add to the guilt he already felt over her death. But she couldn’t lie to him, either.

“It’s as if she searches for you, calling out your name.”

“She should haunt me, not you. I was the one who failed her.”

“I don’t get the sense that she feels you failed her.”

“Then why torment you?” he asked.

Bliss shook her head. “It is she who is tormented though I’m not sure why. I wish I could make sense of it, but I can’t.”

“And so she continues to come to you.”

“It is odd that she comes to me in visions,” Bliss said. “The dead have always come to me in dreams, not visions. My visions are usually of things to come.”

“Have you seen me helping Leora?”

Bliss hesitated, not wanting to tell him but having no choice.
