Chapter 15:

Home

I jolted upright in bed. I looked around the room, disoriented. When the fog of sleep cleared, memories slammed into me. I wasn’t in the POD anymore. George and I had arrived in Area 23, Sector 2—otherwise known as the Village of Rosewood, Tennessee—three weeks ago. I felt my stomach clench and chest tighten. David was gone, and I didn’t know where he was.

The sun peeked through the slats of the window blinds, shining in my eyes. I groaned, flopping backward on the bed. I threw the quilt over my head and turned from the window.

Go away.

Sunday. I hated the weekends. I couldn’t wait until Monday when I could go to work and be around people again. At least work distracted me. I could think of something other than the man I’d left behind.

But until Monday I was on my own. David wasn’t here, and I didn’t know how to contact George. There was no village communication system in place.

The house was too quiet and left me too much time with my ache for David…and with things that reminded me of life before the POD.

Knowing I wouldn’t go back to sleep, I climbed out of bed with a sigh. I changed and pulled on my running shoes. David and I had run together on the treadmills every day in the POD. The thought pierced through my heart like a dagger—even exercising wasn’t free of memories of him. I ran hard, pushing myself harder than usual, trying to push through the memories that haunted me.
