Chapter 61: I Can't Do This Without Help

I don't know how long we stood there holding onto each other, but I didn't care. Tears of joy and relief wash down my face.

"You're both here," I hiccup a cry. "I missed you so much."

"Aye, we missed you too, lass," Kiarr kisses the top of my head. "Ben and I had a long talk in the prism."

"Oh?" I look between them.

"Yes, and we see that in this life, you need all of us like we need you." Ben bows his head slightly. "Unless we are being presumptuous?"

"Not at all," the words rush out.

Kiarr laughs. "Told Ben ye would feel the same, especially after we dream-visited ye."

My whole face heats up. "So, the dream was real?"

"As real as could be with us trapped in the crystal." Ben nods and his hands rub down my arms.
