-SOPHIE-"e;We're in this together now..."e;I meant those words when I spoke them to Zach. He lights up my world, makes me feel safe, and tempts me to believe that life doesn't have to be dictated by my supernatural abilities or the dangers from my past. But lately, it seems the events that took place two years ago are still haunting me, a looming threat that never allows me to escape its grasp. Now, I must choose between hiding my fear-not an easy feat when your boyfriend is an empath trained to pick up on your every emotional response-or telling Zach and my family a truth that could change everything.-ZACH-"e;I'm giving you the real me to hold and keep safe..."e;I've given Sophie the most honest version of myself, and she isn't afraid of the real me. She takes all my bad choices, all my good intentions, and all my passionate responses as part of the whole, and I swear, just the sound of her voice or her touch can undo me and then put me back together again. This girl is my everything. Sure, we've had more obstacles to overcome than most couples-supernatural gifts tend to complicate matters from time to time-but we've worked through them together. Still, I can't escape the feeling that there are more obstacles to come, and even though she tries to hide her fears, I know her far too well, and even without my gift, I would know she has a secret to tell-a secret that could stand in the way of a future we deserve to share together.

SOPHIESince the moment I saw his face, my life has been in chaos. I don't know his name, but still I see him night after night-his striking face appearing in my dream. Is it a portent of things to come, warning me to run from him? Or could it mean something else? I can't seem to make any sense of it, and lately, my idyllic life hasn't been so idyllic. I can't tell my parents about these impossible things I can do because I don't want to see that fear in their eyes-the same fear I feel growing stronger in me every day. So instead of running, I make the decision to trust him. I let him calm my fear while I confront truths I'd rather keep hidden. Still, I can't tell him that my greatest fear is the little time we have left. Soon, I'll have to watch him walk away. ZACHI've done some things I'm not proud of, but who hasn't? Okay, maybe I've done a few more than most, but these days I don't give into those distractions. Especially when I feel the consequences in ways nobody could ever understand. Now, I occupy my time by going where I'm needed. I keep things calm and controlled while helping them see the hard choices they'll have to make. I've done it countless times. Except nothing about this girl is like those other times. There's more for her to fear than just these strange, but extraordinary things she can do-she also has a past she doesn't even know about yet. So even if she would prefer to keep me at a distance, I simply can't let that happen. I need to know her secrets and keep her safe. It's what I do. I'm the empath.
