“Collapse the cavern. Bury it.” The thought hit sharp. “No,” I said. “That just buys time.” He grimaced. “Time is still time.” “Not enough,” I shot back. “Nyx would dig it out.

Before I could answer, the Source suddenly stepped closer. “There may be another possibility.” Hope returned instantly.

I am not that small, and you are.” Garrett said. “In time, we can work up to endless nights of love, but for tonight this will have to do.” “Garrett,” Sara said softly. “You are talking like I am going to be here with you all the time.”

He said softly. “I can’t,” she said as she shook her head. “I can’t think about them anymore. It has been there all night in the back of my head. I really do need to let it go.
