“Cassandra.”
Cassie didn’t open her eyes right away. When she did she saw Nate, not dressed as Kang, leaning over her. Still not quite awake, she mumbled. “This had better be a dream because this is incredibly creepy.”
Nate, or Kang, simply grinned and kissed her forehead. “It’s good to see you to.”
“Scotty—”
Kang leaned back in his seat. “Is sleeping soundly under your father’s watch. I’m sorry about what happened. I never meant to hurt you. I only want what’s best for you and our son.”
“Is this where you take me and run? Because I really don’t want to get shot again.”
“No, when you come back with me I want it to be your own choice.”
“Really, so brainwashing counts as my own choice. You know I liked you better before you got your throat slit.”
Kang’s arm twitched, as though he were about to grab her but he stopped himself. “You’ll realize the truth eventually.”
“I always knew Kang was delusional but I never realized he was a stalker.” Finally, Cassie had the strength to prop herself up in bed. “You do realize my fiancé is coming over here to kick your ass, right?”
“Mmm,” Nate smiled. “No, he is not. I created a localized distortion in time. While time passes for you and I, the world around us,” He waved a hand. “Has stopped.”
“So you can try and woo me without interruption. Nate, I don’t care what you did to me, I know that whatever I am feeling right now? Is not from me. It’s all from you. I’m never going back with you. Scotty will never forgive you for hurting me and neither will I. If you really want to be part of our lives you will turn yourself in and get help. You need it.”
Nate kept smiling, nodding a little at Cassie’s words. “I am proud of you. Your strength of will and tenacity are even stronger than I remember.”
“Seriously, Nate, you’re sick and need help. Please.”
“I will see you again, Cassie.” He stood then leaned in to kiss Cassie briefly on the lips before disappearing.
“…God, I hope that was the drugs.” Cassie closed her eyes and worked hard to forget what had just happened.
