Connie cradled my head in her hands. On her face I could see a whole parade of emotions. The power of my love had gotten through to her, just as it had drawn her out of the underworld against her will.

“You should have killed me,” she said.

“I know.”

“I ought to be furious with you right now because you didn’t have the guts to finish me off.”

“But you’re not furious, and I know why. You’re the old Connie again and you value life, including your own. You know it’s true, don’t you?” I said. “You can feel it now that you’re . . . back.”

Connie’s eyes grew wide. “I am back.”

I felt myself drifting off again, but something in the back of my mind nagged at me. There was a reason I should stay awake. What was it?

“The nuclear site! Diana and the others are on their way there now.”

“You mean you were telling the truth about that?” Connie asked.

I told her what the other vampires had threatened to do. Before I’d finished the story, Connie had the boat backed out of the slip and headed upriver. Although I wished we were in one of William’s speed-boats, I happened to know we were on the faster of the two cabin cruisers. I knew because I’d just tuned this one up myself.

Connie set the boat on the right course and put it on autopilot. Then she kneeled down next to me again.

“You’re injured. You need this.” She pushed up the sleeve of her Savannah PD sweatshirt.

“No,” I said. “I just need sleep. Just go up the river full throttle. If you see that other Thorne cabin cruiser before we get to Augusta, wake me.”

“All right,” she agreed.

The last thing I felt was Connie’s warm lips pressed to my cold ones.
