Desire (Wish, Book Two)
Her feet bare, she climbs into my bed, “You okay?”
I wipe the cold sweat off my face, my heartrate not altogether steady. “Just a nightmare, I guess. A stupid dream.”
Beth looks concerned, “What was it about?”
I open my mouth and then blink, feeling like a curtain of obscurity has been cast inside my head. “You know,” I feel the fear begin to recede, “I don’t really remember.”
Beth tilts her head, her long golden-haired braid falling to one side, her soft blue eyes still filled with sleep. “Well, maybe it was just one of those stress-induced dreams. I used to have them all the time after my parents died and James moved in.”
