He leaned back and started to laugh. “What is this, is there a hidden camera on you?”
“I can’t change the world for everyone, but I can change your world. Noah... now.”
Noah started strumming the strings and Peter went into a daze. When he started to go limp, I jumped over the counter and eased him to the floor.
I looked over the counter at Noah. “You can stop now.”
“Are you gonna wave your hand around the room again and go back in time?” Noah asked.
“No need. There’s no mess to clean. When he wakes up, he’ll think it was all a dream.” I hiked myself up on to the counter, spun on my butt and dropped to the floor.

Her lips feathered against mine and I felt my blood explode through my veins. For once, she dropped her guard, and I knew that if we were back in the room, she would have her way with me. But we weren’t and she needed food.
“C’mon, let’s get you some sustenance.” I take her by the hand and lead the way through the parking lot to the restaurant. “If you want to go inside, I’ll wait here with Bones.”
“Sure.” Reaching for the handle, she looks back at me. “What do you want?”
