"Talia?" Lex was the first to speak. "Are you alright?" He called to me, and it made me think so strongly of this morning, when I was still in pain from last night. From what we'd shared with each other. The thought made me blush scarlet before I was able to get my emotions in check.
"I'm fine." I smiled and was relieved that I sounded halfway normal.
"What happened?" Dad said. "One moment you were next to us, and the next you were over there with glowing lights."
