Whatever I’d taken that potion to forget was gone from my mind. I couldn’t remember anything about it. But it must have been dear to me because my cheeks were stained with tears. I rubbed my temples, realizing that I had a headache. And my bladder felt like it was about to burst. I’d drunk a whole jug of that liquid, after all. I rushed to the bathroom. In the mirror my skin was looking pale as usual, the circles beneath my eyes dark as ever. When I returned to the bedroom, Rhys had woken up. He sat leaning against the headboard, looking me over as I approached the bed. “Get dressed,” he said, standing up. “I want to take you somewhere.” Once we were ready, he held my hands in his and we vanished. The next few seconds were chaos as wind howled around us. Then I felt a warm breeze against my skin and solid ground beneath my feet. Opening my eyes, I took a step back. We were standing at the foot of a waterfall, the crash of waves filling our eardrums.
