Chapter 603
Katelina dropped back into herself, and staggered from the shock. She blinked Jorick's curious face into focus. Brad, meanwhile, gave a shuddering gasp and broke into tears. His misery echoed inside her, as sharp as if it was her own. His ache, his pain, the screaming guilt that he should have protected Patty. It was something Katelina'd felt before, once when she thought Jorick was dead.
Jorick moved her to the edge of the bed. She took slow breaths, trying to cleanse away Brad's feelings. Kai told her before that she went too deep, saw things in a way she wasn't supposed to, but that was all she could do. She couldn't touch the thoughts on the surface, couldn't hear another person's silent comments. She could only get lost in their memories.
The soft sound of Brad's sobs pulled her from the echoes. She forced herself to move to him and lay a hand on his shoulder. "She's going to be okay."
