Chapter 72

“What do you mean?”

“When something is troubling you, do you have to tell her, or does she already know?”

“I have to tell her. She never knows what I’m thinking.”

“And when you touch her, is it like you expect it to be? Do you ever dream about the connection between the two of you?”

Jesse frowned thoughtfully. “No, no. I can never read her. She can’t read me, either. Do you think she’s contacting me?”

“I think that she could be,” Michelle said. “She’s using the bridge to find you. But she can’t do anything more than that.”

“Whoa, whoa,” Gideon said. “Back it up. This is all going on the supposition that Castelain is actively attempting to get her powers back. Which would make John weaker. We’ve had no indications that John is weaker. In fact, he seems to be doing better than ever these days. I’ll grant you there’s probably some kind of link between John and Emma. But the second we assume anything about John losing his powers, he’ll strike. Take my word for it.”
