I want out of life?”
“I mean, are you happy?” he asked.
I frowned. “I’m happy.”
“Are you really, though?” he asked. “Because, it doesn’t seem like you are from where I’m at.
It seems like you’re really sad.”
Was I?
“I’m happy when I’m dreaming about you,” I told him. “Right now? I’m exactly where I want
to be.”
He smiled, and his feet started to sink underneath the sand.
“I want you to be happy outside of your dreams, too, baby,” he rumbled. “You need to give the
new Gabriel a chance.”
I frowned. “What are you talking about?”
Was the man speaking in riddles?
“He’s not the same person that he used to be, but he’s still Gabriel,” he said. “You made him
fall for you once. You can make him fall for you again.”
I frowned. “Malachi is sweet and all but…”
“Gabriel needs you now. Wake up,” he ordered.
Then his calves sank into the sand.
“Luca…” I said, feeling my heart start to race. “What’s going on?”
“He needs you,” he repeated, now up to his knees.
But the funny thing was, the water wasn’t touching me at all.
Each wave that rolled furiously in took him under more and more, leaving me untouched.
I sat beside him, watching in horror as he slowly sank, farther and farther.
“Gabriel is still there, baby. Don’t let him quit.”
I blinked open my eyes and groaned, rolling over and staring at my alarm clock that was projected
onto the ceiling.
Five oh two in the morning.
I frowned.
You’ll get up and run if it’s before five-thirty,I told myself last night before I went to bed.
I had said that.
