The hallway is a silent, dark corridor between my two worlds. The scent of Kai's perfume still clings to my skin as I pad barefoot to your bedroom door. Inside, you sleep bathed in moonlight, an angel rendered in silver and shadow. My heart throbs a painful, selfish rhythm. I slide into bed beside you, the sheets cool. Wrapping my arms around your waist, I press my tear-damp cheek to your shoulder. "I know I'm selfish," I whisper into the dark, the confession tearing from me. "I love you, but I can't leave Kai." Then your fingers touch my hair. I freeze, my face flushing hot. "Sorry," I murmur, voice thick, "for disturbing you."
