Excerpt

The weird sense of deja vu exploded into something else entirely. Something that shook her to the core. His eyes narrowed and he reached up, caught her chin in his, staring at her.

She was pale and Cullen thought she looked every bit as shaken as he felt. “The dreams,” he muttered. He caught her face in his hands and forced her to look at him, staring into her pale gray eyes. The ugly, dark bruise around her left eye made her iris seem that much paler and as he watched, the pupil flared, enlarging until just a sliver of gray of visible.

Taige tried to jerk away and he wouldn’t let her. “You had the dreams, too, didn’t you?” he demanded.

Her voice shook as she reached up with one hand to jerk on his wrist, trying to break his hold. “Let go of me.”

Slowly, he shook his head. “You have,” he whispered, dismay spreading through him.

Dismay–and something else. She’d always held herself apart from him in those dreams. But through those dreams, he’d gotten to know her, gotten to know the woman she had become. She was pulling away from him not because she was angry at him, or because she didn’t want anything to do with him.

She pulled back because she still loved him.

The leaves, having changed colors, are now falling from the trees. I always love taking walks at this time of year when the weather is crisp, but not too crisp, and all around me there’s an array of vibrant autumn colors. The sound of the leaves crunching under my feet adds a sense of mirth to the occasion. And today, squirrels were out and about preparing for winter, which thrilled my dog Oscar to no end on our morning walk. He wanted to lounge on the grass and watch them all day.

All in all, a nice start to the weekend.
