I leaned out the window to try and get more air when I spotted a shadow on the front step. It wasn’t a normal shadow though. There wasn’t anything to cause it, especially not with the angle the sun shined down on the front of the cottage. Actually, it was less like a shadow and more like a silhouette of a person. It reminded me of Peter Pan’s shadow that was almost its own person. I glanced to the others, but they were deep in conversation trying to figure out how to help me get unstuck. So, I strolled over to the front door and stared at the silhouette. It looked like there was a person sitting there.
It was calling for me. My feet carried me forward until I was sitting beside the shadow. My skin tingled on my right side, the side closer to it. That pressure in my chest was tighter out here. Tears pooled on my lashes. I swallowed through a hot lump of emotion. I felt the need to lean into the shadow—Everest. That feels like Everest. My eyes widened. I stared at the spot beside me like he would suddenly appear even though he was right inside.
Oh my God. He’s here. In the future, he’s HERE.
My pulse quickened as realization hit me.
“You can feel him,” Everest said from right behind me. His voice was thick. “Can’t you?”
“What did you say?”
He sat on the other side of me. “I said, you can feel him. Me.”
I ran my hand over the step on my right side. “It’s like you’re here, which is weird because you are here. I don’t understand how I can feel more drawn to this shadow of you than the you I can touch and see.”
He gave me a small smile and held my hand. His eyes were sad. “Because I am not your Everest, not yet. Your Everest is seven centuries in the future, and I assure you he is beyond himself with panic and grief.”
I looked up at him, but my words dried on my tongue.
He pulled me to my feet then lifted my hand so he could kiss my knuckles. “Focus on that feeling of me. Your Everest. You can feel me.”
“Yes, I can,” I whispered.
“Focus on him.” He flicked his wrist and the Seelie tunnel opened beside me. “Go get the page, Francelina, and go home to me.”
