Chapter 142

Mase, always my anchor, caught me.

We crashed to the floor inside the door of the new room, Mase taking the brunt of the fall to his side. He grunted in pain as his hands splayed protectively around my back. Behind me, I expected a great crash from the BioWaves colliding, but there was only silence. I kicked the door closed, though that wouldn't keep them out for long if they were programmed to crash into our reunion. We'd better keep it short.

"Absidy?"

"Mase?" It came out choked with panic. I squirmed out of his arms and then climbed on top of him, my knees bracketing his hips. The possibility that we were actually alive and together again didn't seem quite real. But if it wasn't, I would revolt.

"It's about time I saved you." He swallowed, one eye cloudy, the other iron-colored, both filled with questions as they scoured my face. I ignored all of them.
