A dull, persistent ache throbbed behind my eyes as I swam back to awareness. I pushed myself up, the bed sheets foreign under my hands. My gaze caught on the nightstand. A notebook lay there, my name written across the cover in a slanted, unfamiliar hand. A cold knot tightened in my stomach. The door eased open with a soft creak. A tall man stood there, his expression calm, his smile gentle. 'Hey, you,' he said, his voice a low, soothing murmur. 'I need to go get Silas. Don't worry, sweetheart. We're just... so happy you're back.' His words sent a shiver straight down my spine.
