The production meeting was mandatory, which meant it was excruciating.

The twelve contestants sat around the long dining table, which had been cleared of breakfast and covered in release forms. Mira stood at the head, looking like a general addressing troops she planned to sacrifice.

"Family Week," Mira announced, writing the words on a whiteboard in red marker. "It's the cornerstone of any dating show. We need tears. We need childhood trauma. We need pictures of you with braces."

  • 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

    Elion sat on the edge of the bed. The room was dim, the curtains drawn against the bright afternoon sun that Cale had once said he loved, though he probably didn't remember why anymore.Cale was sitting in the armchair, his posture rigid, his hands resting on his knees. He looked like a guest in his own room."Cale," Elion said softly. "Can I ask you something?"Cale looked up. His eyes were clear, but they lacked the deep, layered recognition they used to hold. "Ask.""Do you remember the cooking challenge?" Elion asked. "The first one. Where we made risotto."Cale frowned. He tilted his head, searching the empty shelves of his mind."Risotto," Cale repeated. "Italian rice dish. Requires constant stirring.""Yes. Do you remember making it with me?"Cale hesitated. He looked at his hands. "I remember you were there. I remember you were... smiling. You had flour on your cheek later.""But the cooking?" Elion pressed gently. "Do you remember the way we moved? The way you handed me the s

    he morning fog rolled off the ocean, wrapping the A-frame house in a blanket of white. It was a day for staying inside, for drinking tea, for being quiet.But Cale Rion was not quiet.He was pacing the living room. Seven steps to the window. Seven steps to the kitchen island. Turn. Repeat.Elion sat on the sofa, watching him over the top of his laptop."You're going to wear a hole in the rug," Elion said."The rug is durable," Cale replied, not breaking his stride. "Wool blend. High friction coefficient.""Cale, stop."Cale stopped. He looked at Elion. His face was drawn, tight with a tension that hadn't left him since the bakery incident."I cannot stop," Cale said. "The engine is idling high.""Why?""Because I am searching.""Searching for what?""For the file," Cale said, tapping his temple. "I am trying to locate the memory of... anything. Before the rain. Before you.""We talked about this. You traded those memories. They're gone.""They cannot be gone," Cale insisted. "Matter i

    The seagulls were screaming.It was 6:00 AM on a Wednesday. The sky over the Oregon coast was a brilliant, cloudless blue. The ocean was calm.But inside the A-frame house, the atmosphere was tight.Cale stood at the kitchen window, binoculars pressed to his eyes. He was scanning the tree line."Target at three o'clock," Cale murmured. "Movement detected in the underbrush."Elion sat at the table, stirring his oatmeal. He didn't look up."It's a deer, Cale," Elion said. "We live in the woods. There are deer.""Deer do not move with that velocity," Cale argued. "The pattern is erratic. Zig-zag. Could be a tactical approach.""Or it could be a deer running from a coyote.""Coyotes are predators. Predators are variables.""Coyotes don't have sniper rifles."Cale lowered the binoculars. He looked at Elion. His eyes were dark, shadowed by another sleepless night."I am not paranoid," Cale said defensivley. "I am vigilant.""You're exhausted," Elion countered. "You checked the locks four ti

    The living room of the A-frame house was bathed in the warm, golden light of a Tuesday afternoon.It was a Tuesday. Cale had checked the calendar three times. He had checked the position of the sun. He had checked the date on his phone.It was Tuesday, but nothing had exploded. No cars had crashed. No structural beams had failed.It was unnerving."You are vibrating again," Elion said from the top of the step ladder.Cale looked up. Elion was hanging the painting—the one of the Blue Door—above the new oak desk. He was holding a hammer and a nail, looking entirely too precarious for Cale's comfort."I am not vibrating," Cale said, standing at the base of the ladder, hands hovering ready to catch. "I am oscillating with readiness.""Readiness for what? It's a nail, Cale. Not a demolition charge.""Nails fail," Cale noted. "Drywall crumbles. Gravity is a constant adversary.""The stud finder said there's wood back there.""Electronic devices are fallible. I should have verified with a ma

    The notification on the laptop screen was small, green, and completely life-changing.Deposit Received: $2,500.00.Cale stared at the number. He refreshed the banking page. The number remained. It was real. It was his."Elion," Cale called out. "Come here. Verification required."Elion walked into the kitchen, rubbing a towel over his wet hair. He was wearing Cale's oversized t-shirt, which Cale noted with a ping of satisfaction was becoming a regular habit."What is it?" Elion asked, leaning over Cale's shoulder. "Did we get hacked?""We got paid," Cale said. "The first invoice for the logistics consultation cleared.""Really? Let me see."Elion looked at the screen. He let out a low whistle."Two and a half grand," Elion said. "For telling them their trucks were going to get stuck in mud?""For analyzing topographical data and predicting weather patterns," Cale corrected. "It was skilled labor.""It's amazing, Cale. You're a breadwinner.""I am a contributor. The household economy i

    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
