[Lily]
It was as if my soul was cast adrift at sea, my body nowhere to be found, nowhere to be felt. How in the hell did my sister expect me to simply listen to all she was saying? This story was many months' worth of time while everyone kept looking for her, while everyone kept worrying about her. And to know that she was with August all along!
Never mind that my sister was actually a blood-wielder, I'd been too shocked by Mel to wallow myself on that. It's the fact that Erilyn and August were here, in the same place as Ren and Meryl, two people from a brief period of my life that seemed to have happened in another dimension. A life that had been long forgotten. This was the most unlikely mix of people I had never predicted to see.
