The morning light that crawled across the floor of Apartment 4B was grey and filtered through layers of city grime.

Elion woke up slowly. His body ached—a symphony of bruises from the tackle, the fall, and the sheer exhaustion of the wedding. He was curled on his side, his arm draped over a solid warmth beside him.

He opened his eyes.

Cale was awake.

He was lying on his back, staring at the water stain on the ceiling shaped like Florida. His face was pale, the dark circles under his eyes standi

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   199: The Paper Trail

    The delivery truck rumbled up the gravel driveway, kicking up a cloud of dust that hung in the crisp December air.Cale stood on the porch. He was wearing a thick wool peacoat over his button-down shirt. He watched the truck with the unblinking intensity of a sniper tracking a target."It is early," Cale said, checking his watch. "The delivery window was 2 PM to 6 PM. It is 1:45."Elion stepped out beside him, wrapping his cardigan tighter around himself. He was holding a mug of tea, his knuckles white against the ceramic."Maybe the driver is efficient," Elion said. "You like efficiency.""I like accuracy," Cale corrected. "Early arrival disrupts the schedule. I was in the middle of analyzing the structural integrity of the deck stairs.""You check those stairs every day, Cale. They aren't going anywhere.""Wood rot is a silent enemy."The driver hopped out. He was a young man with a clipboard and a confused expression. He looked at the house, then at the ocean view, then at the two

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend    198: The Logic of the Feast

    The frozen turkey sat on the kitchen counter like a boulder of ice and regret. It was twenty pounds of poultry, wrapped in plastic netting, radiating a cold that Cale could feel from three feet away.Cale stood with his arms crossed, staring at the bird. He was wearing his apron—the one that said Consultant in Sharpie, courtesy of Elion."It is a biological hazard," Cale announced.Elion looked up from his coffee. He was sitting at the table, attempting to write a shopping list for side dishes."It is a turkey, Cale," Elion said. "It is traditional.""It is a twenty-pound avian carcass," Cale corrected. "The thaw time is calculated at twenty-four hours for every five pounds. That means we should have removed it from the freezer four days ago. We are behind schedule.""We can do a cold water thaw. It's faster.""Water increases the risk of bacterial cross-contamination. Salmonella. Campylobacter. This kitchen will become a bio-zone.""I'll bleach the counters. Relax.""I cannot relax w

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   197: Waking Dread

    Elion held Cale as the tremors subsided.The room was still dark, the only light coming from the crack under the door and the faint glow of the city through the drapes. But the darkness felt different now. It wasn't just an absence of light; it was a presence. A witness.Cale pulled back slightly. His face was a pale blur, his eyes wide and haunted."I'm awake," Cale whispered, his voice rough. "I'm awake.""I know," Elion soothed, keeping his hands on Cale’s shoulders. "You're here. You're safe.""No," Cale said. He shook his head, a jerky, frantic motion. "We aren't safe. I saw him.""Saw who?""Death."Elion felt a chill that had nothing to do with the air conditioning."It was a dream, Cale.""It wasn't a dream. It was a meeting."Cale gripped Elion’s arms. His fingers dug in, desperate for an anchor."He offered me a deal," Cale said. "He offered to send you back. To Timeline 14. To safety."Elion froze. "Back to Lysander?""Back to a life where you live to be eighty-four. Where

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   196: The First Argument

    The argument started over toast.It wasn't burnt toast. It wasn't raw toast. It was perfectly golden-brown toast, served on a white plate at exactly 7:00 AM.Elion stared at it."I don't want toast," Elion said.Cale paused, holding the coffee pot mid-pour. He looked at Elion with genuine confusion, as if Elion had just announced he didn't want oxygen."Toast is the scheduled carbohydrate," Cale stated. "It provides optimal energy release for the morning activity cycle.""I want cereal," Elion said. "The sugary kind. The ones that turn the milk blue.""Those are not food," Cale said, pouring the coffee. "They are processed sugar pellets. They cause insulin spikes and subsequent cognitive crashes.""They taste like childhood, Cale. And I want them.""You cannot have them. I did not purchase them. They are not in the inventory."Elion stood up. He walked to the pantry. He opened the door.There, on the top shelf, hidden behind a bag of quinoa, was a box of Froot Loops.Elion grabbed it.

    The wind off the Pacific was howling again, rattling the glass wall of the A-frame house. It was a familiar sound now, a lullaby of nature that usually put Elion to sleep.But tonight, the bed was cold.Elion reached out, his hand sweeping across the empty sheet where Cale should have been. The fabric was cool to the touch. He checked the digital clock. 3:17 AM."Not again," Elion whispered to the empty room.He sat up, rubbing his face. Since the incident with the third deadbolt yesterday, Cale had been restless. The transition from "Surviving" to "Living" was proving to be harder than fighting a supernatural entity. Peace, it turned out, was loud.Elion climbed out of bed. He grabbed his robe and walked into the hallway.He saw the light downstairs. A single, focused beam cutting through the darkness of the living room.Elion walked down the stairs, his bare feet silent on the wood.Cale was sitting at the new oak desk. He was wearing his pajamas—plaid flannel pants and a grey t-shi

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   194: The Only Clear Thing

    Morning didn't break. It leaked into the room like grey water.Elion woke to the sensation of eyes on him.He didn't flinch. He didn't reach for a weapon. He just opened his eyes and found Cale staring at him from the pillow three inches away.Cale wasn't blinking. His pupils were dilated, swallowing the green irises. He looked like a man trying to read fine print in a dark room."Cale?" Elion whispered. "You okay?""Don't move," Cale said. His voice was rough, unused. "Please. Just... stay still.""I'm not going anywhere.""The edges are blurring," Cale murmured. He reached out, his fingertips hovering just above Elion's cheekbone. "If you move, the pixels might scatter."Elion felt a cold stone drop in his stomach.Pixels. Cale was seeing reality as a degrading image."Touch me," Elion said. He grabbed Cale's hand and pressed it firmly against his face. "I'm solid. I'm right here. Flesh and bone."Cale exhaled. A long, shaky sound."Solid," Cale repeated. "Yes. Temperature: warm. Te

    The morning light in the Garden Room was cruel. It illuminated the dust motes, the smudges on the glass doors, and the stark, grey pallor of Cale’s skin.Elion sat up, rubbing the grit from his eyes. He had slept in his clothes, his hand resting near the brass lamp he had used as a weapon the night

    The sound of the helicopter was a physical weight, pressing down on the roof of the library.Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack.It vibrated through the floorboards, shaking the dust from the shelves. To Elion, it sounded like a rescue. To Cale, it sounded like exposure.Elion was on his knees next to the

    The library was a tomb of shadows and expensive leather.Outside, the storm battered the mansion with the fury of a scorned god. Rain lashed against the tall, leaded windows like gravel. Thunder shook the floorboards every few minutes, a deep, resonant boom that vibrated in Elion’s chest.Inside, t

    The wind on the roof of the Centurion Tower was not a breeze; it was a physical assault. It whipped Elion’s hair into his eyes and snapped the production flags like gunshots.Fifty stories above Manhattan, the air was thin and smelled of exhaust and ozone.Elion stood at the edge of the "Leap of Fa
