He was asleep.

Sound asleep. I could tell from the snores.

Well, now, this was interesting. Grantland Walker, the psychic who never properly slept and couldn’t do so while in contact with someone, was currently snoozing away in my arms without a care in the world.

I maybe enjoyed holding him. A lot. But I was trying not to focus on that. He’d called me for help, after all.

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this. I’d need to experiment more and ask a lot of questions. However, I had a two-part hypothesis. One: of course Grantland’s ability liked me—I wasn’t a criminal or someone in distress. It must feel like a vacation to track someone who was generally happy on a day-to-day basis.

But the other part felt like the true answer to this equation. I was a good potential anchor.

Jon had said that flat out to me several months ago. With his eyes, there was no question of whether he was right or wrong. Grant’s ability worked differently, but he could no doubt sense what Jon had seen. I had all of the makeup to be a good anchor. To someone like Grant, who desperately needed one, why wouldn’t his ability latch onto me?

I didn’t take Donovan’s warning lightly. My world would no doubt take a dizzying turn if I anchored with Grant. My schedule would no longer be my own. I couldn’t wake up in the morning predicting what would happen throughout the day. I wouldn’t be able to write on a schedule. I’d have to squeeze my work in between his. All of that would be a challenge.

I didn’t know how that would take a toll on him or me, but I did know it wasn’t enough of a deterrent. I had quite a few things to talk about with Grant, but I wasn’t waking him up to do it. Let him be for a while. I could read a book on my phone to pass the time.

I had my phone in my hand before I remembered—Grant fries electronics in his sleep. I froze, staring at the screen with concern. Um, are you alright, phone?

The phone didn’t act like anything was amiss, working and functioning as it’d always done. My watch was ticking away just fine, as well. Interesting. Was this something else of Grant’s ability working outside the norm?

Or…wait, he said his ability runs on high all night because it’s not tracking someone and is in search mode. Maybe it’s not doing that right now because I—the person he’s been tracking—was right here. Maybe my electronics were safe at the moment.

A little warily, I kept the phone in my hand, giving it a minute. When nothing happened, I pulled up a good historical romance I was in the middle of and picked it back up. My mind sometimes wandered back to the man in my arms. Grant was just so cute while sleeping, and I liked holding him.

Poor man, I could tell he was so embarrassed by this whole situation.
