My eyes flew open, and I sat up immediately with a start. I must have fallen asleep after all. I wasn’t on a lake… I was in bed. The room was fairly dark, and the moonlight streamed in through the window and sparkled gently on the still water from the lake. Always a nice view.

But I groaned, feeling the crick in my neck as I sat up, the tablet I’d been reading had fallen into my lap. Snorting, I swiped the screen: Ghosts on the Lake. So that’s where that came from.

It was a dream. Of course, it was only a dream. I laughed sharply, immediately feeling like an idiot. Of course, Blake didn’t actually come to me. Ghosts weren’t real. I wasn’t in an urban fantasy novel. Or paranormal. This was real and Blake was long gone. Still, it was strange as all hell, and unsettling. I don’t know how long I was out, but it apparently had been a while judging by the sore muscle in my neck.

I rolled over to set the tablet on the nightstand, and cocked a brow when a glint of silver caught my eye. “The hell?” It was a coin, and I don’t know how it got there because neither Jessie nor I ever used anything but debit cards. So, how did a coin get here?

I swiped at it with my hand, taking it in my palm, and my eyes widened at the shiny, silver quarter…with the year of 2004 on it.

“No… it couldn’t be.” The last two times I’d found coins, they had the date of 1984 on them—the year Blake was born. But… he died at twenty so… “2004. Holy weirdness…”

It couldn’t be. Could it?

Snorting, I set the coin back on the nightstand and shook my head with a laugh. 2004 wasn’t an unusual year to find in coins, I assumed. It wasn’t that long ago. I dismissed the very strange coincidence and laid back down, shifting on my side until I faced my fiancée. Jessie had flipped over to the other side, and her hair was all over the pillow. Whatever smell of alcohol there was evaporated, or I just didn’t notice it anymore. I pressed the length of my body against her backside, smoothed the unruly hair over the pillow, and wound my arm around her waist to pull her close.

“Mmm,” she muttered, rolling over somewhat. I smiled gently at her as she opened her eyes, winced, and immediately shut them again. “Oh, I did something bad.”

“You drank a lot of vodka?” I asked expectantly.

“Did I?” She glanced over at the nightstand and then at the “new” blankets that surrounded us. “Ah, yeah…I spilled some. But most of it went in my mouth.”

“Yeah… about that. What happened? I…saw your laptop. And the video of…Blake. Just a little, though,” I insisted quickly.

She sighed. “Yeah… Kieran just found it and sent it. It was just really weird seeing him—and hearing him—after all these years.”

I cocked a brow. “Are you sure that’s it?”

Her lips formed a line, and her eyes shifted away.
