I took a second to get my bearings and waiting for the world to stop slowly spinning around me. It didn\u2019t make sense. My visions had stopped hitting me with this kind of reaction. Was it getting worse again?<\/p>\n
You have to tell Thom.<\/em> I barely managed to suppress a shiver. I didn\u2019t want to tell him. He\u2019d only worry. The spectre of the fear that had nearly driven us apart\u2014nearly gotten him killed\u2014rose again and I had to force it back.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you okay? Should I get Matt or Thom? J.T.?\u201d<\/p>\n I shook my head. \u201cNot okay, but I don\u2019t need any of them. Just give me a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAt least this time we have one,\u201d she muttered, her brow furrowing as she stared at me. \u201cWhat about the next time?\u201d<\/p>\n I glared at her. \u201cWhat\u2019s that supposed to mean?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt means that whatever\u2019s wrong with you is something that we need to figure out sooner rather than later,\u201d she said. Neve bit her lip and stared at me. \u201cYou look like hell, Marin. You really do. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s causing it. Do you?\u201d<\/p>\n I shook my head. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDoesn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNot if there\u2019s nothing we can do,\u201d I said, straightening stubbornly. \u201cAnd if there\u2019s nothing we can do, I\u2019d rather not talk about it at all.\u201d<\/p>\n She grabbed my arm as I tried to walk away, fingers digging painfully into my biceps. \u201cMarin.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t, Neve,\u201d I said quietly, willing my voice not to shake. \u201cDon\u2019t ask. Don\u2019t question. Just let me be. It\u2019ll get better. I know it will.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut what is<\/em> it?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d I admitted. \u201cBut it\u2019s not going to kill me, so I\u2019m not going to worry. Come on. I want to know what they\u2019re blowing up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRight,\u201d she said quietly.<\/p>\n Somehow, I knew that the issue wasn\u2019t closed\u2014just tabled for now. We\u2019d revisit it sometime, probably when I was least suspecting it.<\/p>\n I knew that, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I took a second to get my bearings and waiting for the world to stop slowly spinning around me.
