Yes.

[ The answer is quick, immediate, and might encompass all his questions. Even if all of what he asks is unrealistic. How could they truly be a couple with him trapped in another dimension? When they can only manage moments of time together? Even then, knowing that, she wants to be with him. She wants to be with someone who understands what she has been through. Someone as not-normal, someone touched by otherworldly beings.

And, even then, a smaller part of her hopes that she somehow inspires him to write again.

Her heart pounds. How did she fall in love with him? When? Do the little details like that matter at all? They do, don't they? It isn't just some rush of emotions though. She felt this way before... she just didn't realize it all. No, she was afraid to admit it in case he left. And, he did.

When did she fall in love with him?

All she can think is it had to have been an attraction from the start she refused to realize. Something that quickly grew the more he was insistent on knowing her and learning her story. How he never refused what she said or believed, even when he struggled to believe it. How when they held hands everything just felt... right. As if everything was going to be okay no matter what happened. Things don't feel that way now.

Is it because they've been apart for two years?

Her hands flex slightly at her sides, but she doesn't move to touch him. His hand is still on her shoulder. Her heart keeps pounding as she waits for him to do something. Anything. What if she moves to do something and he disappears as if all of this is a dream? It's stupid, but the fear is still holding onto her. That determination he saw in her eyes has taken a hit. How could it not? There's been no one in her corner. Everyone left.

Now what do I do? I can't find Dylan. I don't know where else to go. Alan says I can't talk to the people from the government in Bright Falls. Breaker said that too. So what do I... Could I go into the Lake after him? ]
