this? What is this
going to solve? Why can’t you just tell me how you
know?”
    “Because, Anna, by doing it this way, it will
answer more than just one question. When you find
me in your past, you will understand why I can be a
part of your future. I have never left you and I never
will, no matter what you decide.”
“I hate riddles, Jaxson! If you really knew me,
you would know that.”
    “I do know that, and I am sorry, but this is
something you are going to have to do or you are
right, we will never work because you will never
understand.”
“Whatever, Jaxson. Call me when you are ready
to tell me more than riddles.”
     
Chapter 2
    The phone was in her hand, the cold plastic to
her ear. Her aggravated voice pushed through the
receiver. “Paige, you need to get over here. I need
to talk to you.”
“What happened, Anna?”
     
“I will explain it when you get here, but basically
Jaxson knows everything.”
     
“What? I will be right there.”
    Her ears picked up the sound of fabric rustling
and soon the dial tone. Plush carpet cushioned her
steps as she paced the length of her living room.
Her mind, a train station of thoughts and confusion,
were coming and going in all directions at once.
    What am I? Think about the past. Find him.
Crap! None of this makes sense. Nineteen seventytwo...Sebastian…intoxicated…turned….
“Anna!”
    She stopped moving, snapped her head up, and
looked at her dearest friend standing in front of her.
Paige was a petite athletic body shape covered in a
baby blue jogging suit that perfectly matched her
eyes. Hair as stubborn as straw and colored the
same framed her face. Her brows were furrowed
and there was a frown on her lips. She looked both
upset and confused.
“What? Why are you yelling? I have sleeping
neighbors.”
    “I knocked three times and called your name
several times and got no answer, so I came in and
you didn’t even notice. I had to yell to pull you out
of your own mind. Me being able to sneak up on
you tells me this is serious. You would be dead if I
had been a hunter.”
    “No I wouldn’t have. Your scent is a safe one.
It’s one I know and I connect it with friend and
safety. Had a hunter shown up, their scent would
have interrupted my thoughts immediately.”
“Anyway, tell me what happened. I thought you
were…doing the deed.”
     
“We did.”
    “How was it? Was the…presentation bad? Small
pointer and boring pitch?”
“No, actually it was great. He knows what he’s
doing, and the pointer…well larger than life.”
A smile broke across her face and a flush heated
her cheeks. “That is not the point. He knows more
than just the secret itself.”
    “What do mean ‘more’? What all does he know?
He can’t possibly know every—have you fed this
morning and had your coffee?”
“Yes on both, but I could use more coffee. Join
me in the kitchen and I will make us some.”
     
“And explain!”
     
“Yes, and explain.” She walked to the small
kitchen and started making coffee.
     
“How about some music? That always helps.”
     
“That’s probably a good idea.”
    Water sloshed in the small glass pot as she
moved from the sink back to the counter. She filled
the coffee maker with water and put coffee grounds
in the filter, and she smiled when the music filled
the room.
    One of my favorites, “All American Nightmare”
by Hinder. Love this group. Good friends always
know what you need.
    Her
muscles relaxed and her breathing calmed.
She closed her eyes and let her mind and body fill
with the beat of the music. Half the song had
already played before she opened her eyes. She
pushed the start button on the coffee maker just as
Paige walked into the room.
“I have to say, I love what you did with the
place. I love all the colors.”
     
“Thanks. How long has it been since you have
been here?’
    “Two months, I think. Remember? I was gone to
that nursing conference and then Ozzie and I went
on vacation?”
    “Oh, right, Virginia
