What was going on? Alessa's touch had unleashed a vivid flashback, but Isaac couldn't make sense of any of it. When had that memory occurred? What had he and Alessa been doing hiding under that bush in the middle of the night? And who was this brother, Joe, of whom he had no recollection?
All Isaac knew was that his body recognized the feel of this woman as familiar, and he didn't know how that could be possible. But whoever Alessa was, it was clear to him now that she was as vital to his existence as the air he breathed. Whatever she asked of him next, he would deliver. There was no turning back.
Looking down at the mysterious woman still wrapped in his arms, Isaac burned with anticipation. But before he could seal his lips to Alessa's, the lights flickered once again and finally went out. She pulled away quickly, the alarm exuding from her palpable.
