“Are you sure it’s real?” she asked.
“Yes,” he said.
She could feel a tremble move through his body, echo in hers. He’d seen it, too. It hadn’t been a sick hallucination or a party trick. It was real.
Her friend was dead. Before her life could ever begin, she was dead.
Travis leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes. She looked at him, so strong, so solid. Shaken like she was. The look on his face made it even more real. “Promise me something, Travis,” she said, shaking from the inside out.
“Anything.”
Right now, Travis was the anchor. Right now, Travis was the only thing that made sense. She felt like if she lost sight of him, she would drift out to sea completely.
He was her friend, warm, alive and present, and right now she needed him to be with her. She would give anything, her soul if she had to. She just couldn’t bear to lose him, too. Not tonight.
“Promise you’ll stay with me,” she said.
“How long?” he asked.
“As long as it takes.”
“For?”
“For...for me to stop shaking.”
He released his hold on her, but he stayed close, his presence a comfort.
He rested his head against the high-gloss elevator wall and closed his eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed hard. He opened his eyes and looked at her, and all of his sparkle was gone.
She wondered if she would ever see it again.
“I’ll stay with you,” he said, putting her hand in his and squeezing it tight.
For some reason, the agreement felt like a blood oath. Like a pact. And she wondered just what it was she’d agreed to.
She wasn’t sure. She wasn’t sure of anything.
Except that Sarah was dead. Horribly. Tragically.
And that right now, as much as she needed Travis, he needed her, too.
She watched the numbers of the elevator, watched as they got closer to the ground floor. She didn’t know what would happen between them, because nothing seemed right tonight. Nothing was predictable.
She’d never been afraid to be alone with Travis before, but for some reason, right now she was.
But not as afraid as she was of being alone without him.
