I don’t think I’ve told you how much I dream about you. I do. Every day I rush to get my homework done so I can go to sleep early. My roommate thinks I’m weird. But when I’m asleep, we’re together, and we’re happy. And you love me as much as I love you. Call me, Tas. I drove home through the gray light of dusk, a rare lightness in my spirit. Usually I left my time with Marica somewhat exhausted and a little depressed. I wasn’t sure if it was using my powers that drained me or if it was that my lessons so completely took my mind off Michael and the rest of the mess that was my life these days.Wistfully I imagined what I might be doing right now if Michael and I were still together. I would have been so eager to call and tell him about how I made the water dance. I wasn’t sure he’d understand the attraction and excitement of casting fire, but I thought he would like my water play. It felt so right and so positive.I drove past the road that led to the Brooks’ home, and a small twinge of guilt struck my heart.
