I TRIED TO BLOCK out Isaac's face as I leaned against the smooth wood of the doorframe. How long could I stall his questions?
"Drea."
I shot up straight. What the heck? Someone was here with me!
"Who said that?" I yelped.
"You can hear me," replied a faint and surprised voice, a feminine voice.
I walked through the downstairs rooms, peering into each corner with Knox padding alongside me. But each room remained quiet and empty.
"Who are you?" I asked, passing the mirror in the foyer.
Shocked, I backtracked to it to see my face reflected there, but not my eyes. At least not the brown eyes I should have. They were blue!
Happy laughter spilled through my mind. "I never thought I'd ..."
The voice and the blue eyes faded away until all that remained were my own brown ones, and the silence of the house. For some reason, I felt unquestionably lonely.
"Hello?" I said, feeling foolish talking to my reflection.
