“Gwen!” I hear a voice through the buzzing in my mind. The sand moves at my feet, and Hollis grabs my face, not rough but firm. “You’re here, you’re safe, you’re not in the water. I don’t know what it is about the water and you, but I can see you’re terrified. Tell me—” “I’ll show you and I want to hear your heart break,” my Nexus speaks from my lips. “No,” I scream, but it’s too late.
