MAXIMILIAN MACMILLAN FELT Grace’s nightmare before her startled gasp pulled him completely from sleep. He heard the rustle of sheets as she climbed off the bed and sat up. “Grace?”

He watched her walk toward the hallway and called out a few more times, but she didn’t answer, so he followed her. She padded through their private sitting room and into her walk-in closet, heading straight for her jewelry box.

“Baby?” he whispered.

She still didn’t acknowledge him, so he watched and waited. She pulled out the pearl bracelet Charlotte had given her to wear on their wedding day. Charlotte had an identical one, and Grace often wore it when she was missing her best friend, which was almost every day. Grace closed her eyes as she gently caressed the jewelry. When she opened her eyes, she let out a quiet squeak and dropped the jewelry.

“Baby?”

Grace glanced at Max. “Hi.”

He smiled. “Hi.”

Her gaze swept the space and she frowned. “What am I doing in my closet?”

“I think you were sleepwalking.”

“Oh.” She bit her lip. “I think something’s wrong.”

Max closed the distance between them, picking up the dropped pearls and handing them to her. “Tell me.”

Grace waved the bracelet in the air. “Charlotte. Something’s wrong with Charlotte. I think. Or maybe something’s really, really right? Damn it, I can’t figure it out. I just... feel... so, ah... something. Maybe I’m just crazy.”

Grace had the gift of physical empathy, which meant she could be drawn to certain objects or places, and could also become emotionally charged when walking into a room or entering a town or a country. The trick was knowing if the emotions were positive or negative.

“I doubt you’re crazy, baby. Perhaps Niall has bound her.”

“Oooh, do you think?” Grace asked hopefully.

“It’s possible. Although, I’d feel it, so it’s probably not that.” Max wrapped his arms around his mate and ran his hands over her back. “Instead of flying home tomorrow, let’s head to the States.”

“But Niall has the plane,” Grace said, and then giggled. “If you’d told me a year ago that complaint would come out of my mouth, I would have smacked you.”

“I’m sure Connall will let me borrow his. And if not, then we’ll fly commercial.”

“You’d do that for me?” Her eyes widened. “Really?”

He chuckled. “Aye, love. It’s not like I’ve never flown commercial.”

She smiled. “Sometimes you amaze me.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re willing to get on a crowded plane in order to make me happy.”

“Haven’t you figured out that I’ll do anything to make you happy?”

She looped her hands around his neck and ran her hands through his hair. “I’m starting to.”

He kissed her. “Besides, I didn’t say it would be crowded, love. Let’s be honest, I’d buy out first class.”

“You would not.” She raised an eyebrow. “That’s such a waste of money.”

“What’s the alternative?”

“Just dealing with it.”

He lifted her off her feet. “I’ve got entirely too much money to have to ‘deal with it.’”

She giggled, leaning down to kiss his nose as she wrapped her legs around his waist. “I keep forgetting about that.
