We sat in silence for a while. "So...." I mumbled awkwardly.
"So." She mimicked, her voice flat.
"How're you holding up?" I asked her, not wanting to get to the point too quickly but desperately wanting the silence to end.
"I'm okay, I guess. I mean, it's not like Joel was my mate, but I did like him." She said, her eyebrows furrowing. I nodded slowly and I heard her sigh.
"The sudden realization didn't help." She met my eyes quickly before turning her head away. It's like she didn't mean to say it.
"How did you know?" I asked her, needing to know.
She met my eyes again and got up, crossing her arms against her chest and pulling them in tight, pacing a bit at the end of the bed.
"Well, I have a gift. Just like you and Rebekah have one." She said in a low voice.
My curiosity is spiked further.
"One touch and I can know everything about a person, everything they've seen through their eyes since the day they were born. When I touched Bekah, I knew."
