I reach for my shampoo.

I wash my hair and catch myself thinking about not only Seth but also Cullen and Archer.

It’s like a dream come to life with them all.

They have their own ways of driving me crazy yet making me feel…loved?

Is that what this all is? Is this love? It can’t be love.

I think of Archer’s knife. That’s not love.

I think of Cullen’s possession-like attitude. That’s not love.

I think of Seth’s violence. That’s not love.

Whatever it is…

“Whatever,” I whisper.

I grab the thick washcloth that feels like a wet towel as I lather myself with soap.

The only thing I can do is keep piecing this all together.

And all that space that comes in between that, it’s just… space.

From the corner of my eye I think I see movement.

I quickly turn.

All I can see is the shower curtain.

It’s thick. It’s dark blue.

Definitely not see-through at all.

But I get a feeling.

Almost like someone is watching me.

I look up. I look around.

I think about shows and movies about people who find out there were cameras in their bathrooms. Creepy sick people watching them shower or sit on the toilet.

I slowly start to hug myself.

Every little thing can be a camera, right?

Now I’m getting paranoid.

I don’t see a camera anywhere, but I begin to wonder if someone is in the bathroom with me.

It’s a private bathroom, but it’s not locked.

Then again, for all I know it can be Maz or Birdie in here.

Or someone else.

“This is Jaci,” I call out. “Jaci Ruby. I’m anHeir.”
