His wings still out, tensed, and ready, the rest of us holding our weapons. He moved so fast I didn’t even see him. Sliding past the others as fluid as water going around rocks in a stream he came for me, I felt his arm snag my waist and my feet left the Earth. I heard Devon’s shots fire and Kenneth soared into the air in pursuit. Cassi let out a scream and I heard the others calling my name as we ascended, until they were just specks.

Settling into a plush chair, Joseph cradled the book in his hands. The worn cover spoke of countless hands that had sought its wisdom, and the yellowed pages whispered tales of eras long past.

It was a limited-edition piece from the company's 100-Year Anniversary Collection. As Odessa stared at the screen, her mind wandered back to when the jewelry designs were nothing more than rough sketches. She recalled Ansel laying them before her, eager to hear her thoughts. "Odessa, which one speaks to you the most?" he asked. She pointed to a ring shaped like a maple leaf. "This one. It's beautiful." Ansel smiled, leaning in to kiss her. "I love that one too.

It lands with a dull thud and kicks up a puff of dust. My heart stutters. A flicker of movement catches my eye—and for a split second, a translucent figure flickers out of the air like static on a broken screen. Sally. “Sally?” I whisper. “Did you guys see that?” Celeste points at the fallen book. “if you mean the book falling spontaneously from the shelf—then yeah. Yeah, we did.” “It was her,” I say, already moving toward the shelf the book fell from. “She showed me where.”

Every trace of Hailey and their shared memories had disappeared. Frantically, he searched every room in the mansion, hoping to find even a single hair or clue.
