CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Jackson quietly opened the garage door and followed Izzy to her car.

“Do you have a second?” he asked.

“Sure. What’s up?”

“I feel silly saying this, but it would give me some peace of mind if I could get some answers.”

“I’m happy to help.”

Izzy threw her bag onto the passenger seat and stepped back on the sidewalk closer to Jackson.

“You know those dreams Alex has been having — the ones you think are related to past lives?”

“Yeah.”

“I had something similar happen last week. It felt too real; it spooked me a bit.”

Izzy smiled.

“Ah, that’s what Alex has been picking up then. You know she suspects something’s going on with you?”

“I figured. I’m just not sure what it is myself.”

“It must have been powerful if you’re still haunted by it.”

“I don’t dream often, but like I said this was unlike any dream I’ve ever had. The grief is still overwhelming. Alex was there and so were you, but you were also different. Does that make sense?”

“It does,” Izzy said with a knowing smile.

“I called her Addie in the dream, but she had Alex’s eyes.” Jackson looked away as he fought back tears. He struggled to get the words out as they caught in his throat. “I tried to save her, but I was too late. And the thought of living with that guilt was too much to bear. I can still feel the weight of that grief. Does this sound crazy?”

“Not at all.”

“Is there any way to know if this was real or not?”

“You tapped into a past incarnation for sure. I’ve been reading that Akashic Record since you started recounting the dream. It’s an especially painful one because your future with Alex, or Addie in that life, was cut short, and it was many lifetimes before you came back together again.”

Jackson shifted his weight uncomfortably. He glanced around, worried that neighbors might be eavesdropping. This was a conversation he never thought he would have. He had wrestled with the idea of bringing this up with Izzy and ultimately decided to ask because the grief had been gnawing at him for a week.

“Sorry, it’s just this is so hard for me to wrap my head around.”

“It’s normal to have this reaction. You don’t have to apologize for having an analytical mindset. I’m used to people struggling when faced with something that challenges their current belief system.”

“Normally, I’d dismiss all of it and chalk it up to just a vivid dream, but the grief is eating me up. I thought it would dissipate once Alex returned, but I’m still worried that I won’t be able to protect her when she needs me. I let her down before.”

“You didn’t,” Izzy insisted. “Your love and devotion have protected her more than you’ll ever know. Why don’t you open up to her? You know she would understand.”

“She has so much on her plate. I’m supposed to shield her from anything that can stress her out, not add to her worries.”

“If you’re suffering, she’d want to know.
