I got in and sat down, holding back tears. “Should I drive you home?” Diego asked. “No… can you take me to the beach instead?” “Of course.” Diego drove quietly while I tried my hardest not to cry. When we arrived at the shore, I got out and walked toward the sea. It was freezing, and I was shaking. The sea was wild—huge waves crashed against the rocks. Once I was alone, the tears came. I started crying. My body didn’t hurt as much as my heart did. When would this end? When would I be able to live in peace? I cried out loud, knowing the sea and its waves would keep my secret and drown out my voice.

Only once had he been to a city: San Antonio. Deets had taken him on one of his banking trips, and Newt had been in a daze from all there was to see. Once, too, he had gone with Deets and Pea to deliver a small bunch of horses to Matagorda Bay, and had seen the great gray ocean. Then, too, he had felt dazed, staring at the world of water. But even the sight of the ocean had not stirred him so much as the thought of the north. All his life he had heard talk of

On the day of our graduation trip, my boyfriend Roman, a mafia heir, and his childhood friend Clara left me stranded on the side of a deserted highway. Their off-road vehicle had been driving for over half an hour before they even noticed the back seat was empty. When Roman called, there was no panic in his voice, only a hint of irritation. "Blair, why didn't you get back in the car?" "Stop messing around. We're rushing to the canyon to catch the sunset. We don't have time to go back and get you."

My boyfriend, Nolan Reed, was in the running for head coach of the national open-water swimming team, and he was a sports streamer with eight million followers. On a trip to Santa Catalina Island, he said he'd use a livestream to help me conquer my fear of deep water. The second the camera went live, Leah Morgan, the friend I trusted most, shoved me from behind. An icy wave swept over my head. I struggled toward Nolan and reached for him, but he took half a step back, dodging my hand. "Don't pull her out yet. It takes real fear to unlock someone's full potential."

At the exact moment, Wyatt, who was coming down from the yacht, stopped in his tracks. He had an odd feeling which made him look up to see someone turning around.

Orlene and I both have no idea what’s that place. The sun was setting when we arrived. My jaw dropped when I realized the place. I remembered the time I was selling rice cakes here, the place where I first met Asherah. I think I have an idea of where we are heading. “So that sea connects this world to your world?” I asked, surprised. She nodded at me, whoa.
