Chase POV:
As we lay there, gazing into each other's eyes like teenagers drunk on their first crush, something strange and unfamiliar washed over me. It was like a door in my mind creaked open, a faint breeze carrying the presence of something—someone—else. The sensation was almost indescribable, and I wasn't sure if I was imagining it.
Then, I heard her voice.
"It's called a mind link."
Leila's voice resonated in my head, clear as a bell, but her lips never moved. The realization startled me, and my reaction made her chuckle, her mouth curving in a way that made my chest tighten.
"Do it again," I said quickly, wanting to hear it again, wanting to confirm that I wasn't losing my grip on reality.
