Reasons To Celebrate

Liam's P.O.V.

Mai's beautiful green eyes were wide, glowing in the moonlight as she clutched my arm. "Ollie is losing his damn mind," she whispered, breathless.

I blinked. "What do you mean?"

"He's screaming," she said with a laugh, shaking her head. "Like, full-on screaming in excitement. He keeps saying, 'Oh my goddess, you can hear me? You can actually hear me?'"

I smirked, trying to imagine Ollie freaking out. "Sounds like he's more excited about this than you are."

"Oh, trust me, I'm excited," she said, pressing her hands to her temples like she still couldn't believe what was happening. "I never thought I'd be able to use the mind link. Ever."

I hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you think… I could try it with you?"

Mai's eyes snapped to mine. Then she nodded excitedly. "Yeah, of course! let's try."
