The world seemed to halt around me, my breath caught in my my ears. Two months? I couldn’t make sense of it. How could th felt like it was slipping, shifting, like I was losing my grip on everything.

The air was thick with confusion, laced with fear, but also some ing darker–something that I couldn’t place, but I knew it was there. My mind scrambled, struggling to piece it together.

Grayson stood still beside me, not saying anything at first, his expression unreadable. I could feel his presence, the tension radiating off him. And then, finally, he spoke, his voice filled with authority but it felt forced.

Like he wanted. No needed to immediately understand what the hell had happened so he could be on top of it.

“We need to get you back to the estate.”

I blinked, trying to process, still reeling from Isabella’s words so his words barely registering as I looked back at her, “Two months? I stuttered, my voice cracking with disbelief. “What do you–what do you mean? How? How could it be two months? I was-“I broke off, shaking my head as if I could shake the fog out of my brain.

Isabella opened her mouth to speak, still staring at me like she couldn’t believe I was here but before she could, Grayson lifted me, sweeping me off my feet, and in that moment, I didn’t have the strength to fight it. I didn’t understand what was going on, but I knew I needed to trust him.

“Grayson,” I whispered, barely audible, as I buried my face against his chest, the words slipping out before I could stop them. “Two months… we… How?”

He didn’t answer. His body was stiff, his movements deliberate, and though I didn’t know if it was from the shock I was feeling or something else.

“Where are we going?” I managed to get the question out through the fog in my mind. The words felt heavy, as if I had to force them through the confusion that clouded me.
