Chapter Ten

Morgan came awake to the sound of May crying. Without opening her eyes, she tried to determine where the sound was coming from and sighed when she realized it was coming from the other side of the bed. Rolling over, she slowly opened her eyes and saw May lying on the pillow beside her.

“Why are you crying baby?” Sitting up, she reached out for the little girl but stopped before making contact. She could feel a coldness beneath her palm, and she wanted nothing more in that moment than to gather the little girl up and hold her close until she became warm again.

Sniffing back her tears and wiping her eyes, May stared up at Morgan. “Because you’re giving up on me.”

“Why would you think I was giving up on you?” Morgan thought back and couldn’t remember ever saying that she was giving up. May didn’t answer right away and Morgan could tell that she was afraid that if she did Morgan would yell at her or worse, tell her that she really had giving up. “It’s okay, you can tell me.”

With trembling lips, May’s voice came out as a whisper. “As you were falling asleep, you were thinking about selling the house and moving away.”

Morgan was stunned into silence for a moment. ‘How is it this little girl knew what I was thinking before I fell asleep when I can’t even remember myself?’

“Well it’s not really all that hard.” May’s mouth turned up in a small smile. “Did you know that when you think to yourself you do it really loud?”

Morgan laughed in amazement. “I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me that if Geoffrey could read my mind then you could too. And yes, I do have a bad habit of yelling at myself when I’m thinking.” Looking at the smile on May’s face she could tell, even in the moonlight, that she was a very beautiful little girl. “I’m sorry you had to hear my thoughts tonight, May. I was really upset and when I get that way, I have crazy thoughts. So please, don’t think for a minute that I would give up on you, okay? I made you a promise and that is a promise I plan on keeping.”

Looking deep into Morgan’s eyes, May felt that this was someone she could count on not to hurt her or lie to her. Reaching out, as if to touch Morgan’s face, May gave her another small smile, nodded, and faded away before her hand made contact.

Sighing, Morgan stared down at the empty pillow for a second before placing her palm against the cool material covering it. ‘Why don’t they ever say bye before they disappear?’

Laying back down, she closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep. After tossing and turning for more than an hour, she sat up and looked around the darkened room. “Well, since it appears that I’m up for the night, I may as well go downstairs and see what I can find out about this place.
