promise.”
    “Oh Mackenzie, please don’t feel terrible. Anyone in love would have felt the same way as you did. And I know you would never have wished Kat any harm,” Ally said reassuringly.
    “Thank you,” Mackenzie said. You’ve made me feel a lot better. I’ve felt so guilty ever since that night.”
    Ally put her arm around Mackenzie’s shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. “What are friends for?”
    Mackenzie raised her eyebrows in surprise. “I’d like to be friends.”
    “We already are,” Ally said, with a warm smile.
    “Do you think he will come back soon?”
    “I hope so,” Ally said, trying to give her hope.
    Mackenzie brightened and stood up. “I feel so much better now. I’m glad I spoke to you.”
    “Anytime,” she said, as she gave Mackenzie a warm hug.
    Mackenzie walked to the door and paused, glancing at the chair. “What a gorgeous flower! Did James leave that for you?”
    Damn .
    “Umm…not exactly.”
    “Are you alright, Ally? You’ve turned as white as a ghost.”
    Ally waved it off. “Yeah, fine. I, uh, just need to meet James. He’s waiting for me in the kitchen.”
    Mackenzie gave her a broad smile. “Don’t let me keep you then,” she said and left the room.
    Making her way back over to the flower, she muttered, “Now what do I do?” Deciding there was nothing more to be done, she unwillingly picked up the flower to take downstairs with her to show James, and walked over to the door. As she grabbed the handle, a voice shimmered in her mind. “Trust your instincts, Alessandra. They will light the way on the darkest of nights.”
    She turned around so quick she almost gave herself whiplash, but Ally saw that no one was in the room.
    Who the hell was that?
    Completely freaked out, she dashed out of her room without a backward glance and hurried to the kitchen. She didn’t want to be alone.

    Ally held the flower behind her back as she entered the kitchen. James was sitting at the table, with a coffee in his hand reading the local newspaper. She noticed the light blue button up shirt he was wearing. The colour brought out his eyes and made him look even sexier, if that was possible. She wished he was standing up so could get a look at him in jeans, but that would have to wait.
    He noticed her entrance and he gave her a look that wondered where she’d been.
    She walked over to the table and sat down, and nestled the flower behind her back. “Sorry, got held up.”
    “Is everything alright?” he asked as he nudged a cup coffee in front of her.
    “Thanks,” she said and grabbed it with both hands. “Mackenzie wanted to talk to me.”
    “About?”
    Raising an eyebrow at James and taking a sip of her coffee, she asked, “What’s with the twenty questions?”
    He gave her a half smile, and shrugged implying indifference.
    James watched her as she sank into her own world, deep in thought.  She’s forgotten about the conversation we had before I left her room. What in the world made her forget that?
    He was about to say something, when he noticed a foreign smell in the room, not at all unpleasant but one that hadn’t been there until Ally arrived.
    “That’s a nice perfume you’re wearing.”
    Coming back to reality at the sound of his voice, she looked at him confused. “I’m not wearing perfume. I got distracted by Mackenzie and forgot to put it on.”
    “So what do I smell then?”
    So much for working up to it …
    She brought the flower out from behind her back, and placed it on the table in front of James. He glared at the flower in front of him, and looked up at Ally with a question in his eyes. “Is that what I think it is?”
    “It certainly is.”
    “Where did you find it?” He had a sneaking suspicion he wasn’t going to like her answer.
    “On the chair in my room,” she answered. “In the same corner that Kat stood during the dream. Or perhaps what I thought was a dream.”
    He ran his fingers through her hair, and spoke
