way to get them back together, like we do everything in our lives.”
    “In all those years, have I ever told you how gorgeous you are?” I ask Mason, unable to keep my thoughts to myself as I stare at him.
    “Once or twice,” Mason replies with a pleased, almost shy grin, which makes him even more irresistible to me. I feel an overwhelming urge to lean over and kiss him, but I hold myself back. He’s having a hard enough time dealing with my state of mind. I don’t need to give him any false hope that my memories of him are coming back to me.
    Yet, I know that would have been the natural reaction of the old me. I would have kissed him and one thing would have led to another…
    I seriously doubt we would have left this bed anytime soon.
    “What are you thinking about?” Mason murmurs knowingly. “Your cheeks usually only get that red when you think about having sex with me.”
    I immediately cover my face with both my hands, in utter mortification.
    “Then don’t look at me,” I say, my words slightly muffled behind my hands. “I can’t help it.” I peek at Mason between my fingers, and catch him smiling at me as if I’ve just made him the happiest man in the world. “Seriously,” I tell him, lowering my hands to my lap, “look at you. What heterosexual woman in her right mind wouldn’t want to make love with you? And I can only imagine we’ve done that a lot in the past seven years.”
    “A LOT,” Mason confirms with a firm nod of his head. “Enough to make two children and possibly a third.”
    “A third?” stunned, I involuntarily place my left hand on my tummy. “Am I pregnant?”
    Mason shrugs his shoulders. “Not that I know of, but anything is possible, especially after our last night together.”
    “I wish I could remember that,” I say longingly.
    Mason chuckles. “You will. One way or another, I’ll make sure you do. Now, come on. You have a lot of other people who want to see you again. And then I’ll take you to Josh’s room, so you can watch the last video you took.”
    Mason holds out his hand to me, and I readily accept it.
    I feel so much more comfortable with him than I did Lucian. In all honesty, Lucian kind of freaked me out. I knew there was something wrong with him. I just didn’t know what. I still don’t, really.
    Mason and I walk out of the bedroom together and begin to stroll down the hallway.
    “Where are our children?” I ask, wondering why Mason didn’t say we were going to see them.
    “It’s part of the long story,” Mason tells me. “You see, this isn’t the reality that we live in normally. It’s an alternate one. Our children are back home, waiting for us.”
    I stop walking.
    Mason turns to look at me, still holding my hand with his.
    “We’re in an alternate reality?” I ask, not doubting his words, just having a hard time wrapping my brain around such a concept. “How did we get here?”
    “You brought us here.”
    “Me?” I ask. “How?”
    “Like I said,” Mason replies, “it’s a really long story. One I might need the help of our friends to tell you. Come on,” Mason urges with a gentle tug on my hand, “let me take you to the others so we can explain it all to you.”
    I continue to follow Mason down the hallway. We come to a grand staircase, which begs the question, “Where are we exactly?”
    “Boldt Castle,” Mason answers. “This is the headquarters for the resistance on this world. We came to this reality to help them fight against what Lucian is doing.”
    “And what exactly is it that he’s doing?”
    “Causing the Apocalypse here, without God’s permission.”
    “Why doesn’t God just stop him from doing it?”
    “That’s what He sent us here to do,” Mason says, though his words sound troubled.
    “What’s wrong?”
    Mason shakes his head as we come to stand at the foot of the stairs.
    “It’s like nothing we do here works,” Mason admits, not hiding his frustration. “We keep trying to stop him, but
