\u201cYou look like you\u2019re in a piss-poor mood,\u201d Neve said as I slipped into the space she shared with Cameron. She set the book she\u2019d been reading down and canted her head to one side, slowly drawing her good knee up to her chest. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
I dropped heavily onto the bed next to her and shook my head. \u201cEverything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s terribly descriptive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry.\u201d I sighed and looked at her. \u201cIt\u2019s all a mess\u2014worse than I imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neve arched a brow. \u201cGoing to elaborate on that?\u201d<\/p>\n
I leaned back, staring at the ceiling. \u201cJ.T. and Jac know there\u2019s something going on with me when I work on the wards. There\u2019s new monsters coming out of the west and I\u2019ve seen hints of it. Things are happening too quickly, faster than I\u2019d seen them happening in my visions. There\u2019s\u2014Neve, I don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
She frowned a little, resting her chin on her knee. \u201cI\u2019m not sure that I\u2019m the one you need to be confessing this to, Mar.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course you are,\u201d I said. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to panic in twelve directions over any of it. You\u2019ll keep your head on straight and you\u2019ll help me work through it.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cPhelan wouldn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFuck no, he\u2019d ask me if I\u2019ve said anything to Thom and I\u2019d say no and he\u2019d tell me that I need to and then get all quiet and serious and upset because things are<\/em> happening too fast and they\u2019ll screw something up that\u2019s supposed to happen.\u201d I closed my eyes, thumping my head lightly against the wall. \u201cPhelan\u2019s got enough shit bothering him right now. I don\u2019t need to add to it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo you\u2019re adding to mine instead?\u201d<\/p>\n I smiled wryly at Neve and shrugged with one shoulder. \u201cI\u2019ve got to tell someone, right?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI guess.\u201d Her lips thinned for a moment. \u201cWhat do you need me to do?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know. I\u2019m still trying to figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you do, you\u2019ll let me know.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cExactly.\u201d I closed my eyes again. \u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cYou look like you\u2019re in a piss-poor mood,\u201d Neve said as I slipped into the space she shared with Cameron.
