I miss you, Sophie transmitted to Keefe, snuggling into her nest of blankets. She'd be unable to go to sleep until she knew he was settling into Elwin's house okay.
Wow, Keefe thought. I didn't know I could feel emotions through your thoughts.
You can?
Yeah.
Sophie paused, a little nervous. What can you feel?
A whole lot of longing. Maybe you're pining for me?
Very funny.
I'm serious.
Sophie's heart sped into a gallop. Because that was what she was most scared of.
