Chapter 32-Jaxen

The door creaked open against rusty hinges under my touch, echoing in the silent room. Small puffs of dust sparkled in the sunlight filtering through the dirty windows. Memories were as thick as the dirt coating the furniture. Everything stood frozen in time. Sixty years had come and gone and nothing in this room had changed, except me.

Chapter 33-Sophie

No use, sleep eluded me. With a huff, I flung the covers off me and eased out of bed. Memories like waves breaking in a storm crashed around me as I stood in the middle of my room in a crumpled, day-old shirt with my hair standing in all directions and muddy boots laying as evidence on the floor.

Oh God. Oh God. Please tell me I did not throw up all over and make a total complete idiot out of myself. I plucked a twig from my hair.

Please say that I did not tell Jaxen I loved him.

Chapter 34-Jaxen
