seeing the hefty rock blocking her only way out, and a smaller boulder next to it. Above the rock was a gap she prayed was large enough to squeeze through.
    She also noticed most of her eyesight had returned. Small relief, but it would do little good if she couldn’t get out of the cave. Her vision wasn’t perfect. Objects in her peripheral vision were hazy beyond recognizing anything but shapes. She felt confident enough to risk squeezing through the small gap and climb down the cliff. Attempting to reach the ground would be the hardest obstacle of her life, but she had to try. Even if it took hours, she had to try. Once she was down, she would be quiet while she tried to find her way out, and back home. There were a lot of things that could go wrong, but withering away in a cave wasn’t an option.
    She climbed onto the top of the boulder and stuck her head out. It was a tight squeeze. Somehow, she managed to free one arm before she got stuck. Kylie tried to exhale all the air out of her lungs because her chest was stopping her from continuing. She wasn’t large breasted but seemed bigger now that she was squeezing through a narrow gap. She inched a little farther, but once again got stuck when her second hand managed freedom. Then she was thoroughly wedged into the tight space; there was no use. She wriggled back into the cave and looked around. Kylie wasn’t a stupid girl by any means. She could try to chip away at the rock to see if she could make the gap larger. Only a few inches more of space would do.
    Kylie had just found a perfect rock for chiseling when she heard the rock slide away from the entrance again. She spun in her spot. The man returned for her. She smiled, in spite of her sudden boiling anger with him. She was saved. “You came back.” She sounded as thankful as she felt. A small smile from the corner of his lips was visible only for a moment. He held up a large bundle of green prickly cactus.
    “I take it you no longer need cave-cactus.” He tossed it to a corner. His appearance was different. It was remarkable how he seemed altered every time she saw him. His muscles were more defined than she remembered, and somehow he looked stronger. His pecs were bigger, and the elaborate design on his chest was gone. Instead, it was on his left calf. He was lofty. He towered over her by at least a foot, and Kylie was only two inches shy of six feet.
    His full head of hair was shorter; the tangles no longer touched his ears but was lengthy on the top. His bangs dangled dangerously close to his eyes. She had to admit, he had perfect hair. His blue eyes brightened to a brilliant sapphire the moment she looked into them. Dark blue surrounded his irises. They were gorgeous. She was stumbling over him, realizing exactly how attractive he was. True he had a mild temper, but in that instant, she decided she could put up with it to be around him.
    “You came back for me,” she said again stupidly.
    “I cooled off,” he replied. They fell quiet as they continued to gaze at each other.
    She couldn’t seem to look away from him, as if everything in her body refused to turn. He had a strong jaw, and his facial hair that covered his chin disappeared when she noticed it. What was going on? He was changing before her eyes. There was no denying it.
    They were quiet so long while fixed upon each other that the silence became uncomfortable. Kylie wanted to look away, but they locked eyes and she couldn’t stop gaping at the intense blue. He gazed at her in an amused expression.
    “Your eyesight is better, that is good. I wanted you to see.”
    “Yeah, it’s good enough,” Kylie said airily still ogling his body and stunning eyes.
    He smiled, and when he did, his slightly crooked teeth moved. She definitely saw them shift. He was aware of it, too, because he stopped smiling and rolled his tongue over his teeth. “That’s enough, Ky. Let’s go. The trolls are long gone, and it’s midday. Most creatures that would
