herself. Brenna has the power of touch.
Touch? He drew his brows together.
Here goes, she thought. He was either going to
believe her or think she was crazy. Yes. If she
touches you, she can read your thoughts.
A shutter fell over his face, masking his
emotions. I see. And your other sister?
She& she s a medium. She held her breath.
Slowly he leaned back in his seat, his expression
hardening. She speaks to dead people, he
remarked bluntly.
Her defensive shackles rose. She s an authentic
medium. She& she can channel spirits.

He remained silent for what seemed an eternity
until he spoke, his tone curiously hoarse. Do the
ghosts talk back to her?
She knew where this was leading. He was
thinking about his son. Yes, she whispered.
His mouth tensed. I see.
Stella didn t know what to do. She knew the
second he asked her if Elissa could contact Tyler
she would have to tell him the truth. That Elissa
already did and discovered his son was not on the
other side.
No one knows what really happened to my
son, he began slowly. He had a distant look on
his face.
Stella knew he was caught in the past. That
horrific, painful past when he was told his son had
died.
After a couple of days, they d found the car,
but no bodies. Then a six month long search began
and nothing turned up.
Gunnar, she began softly. I have something
to tell you. It s about Tyler.
His gaze fastened on hers. Yes?
I& I spoke to Elissa yesterday and asked her to
contact Tyler. She recoiled at the expression on
his face. Brief flashes of grief, shock, anger.
Why did you do that?
To help you. I thought if you knew he was
okay it would help ease your grief. I m sorry. I

didn t mean to intrude.
His face was grim. What did your sister
discover?
Stella swallowed and for a split second,
wondered if she should tell him the truth. She
stared at his handsome face and released a breath
she didn t realise she d been holding. Gunnar was
the kind of man who faced the truth head on. She
couldn t find Tyler on the other side.
His face paled as he clenched his fist on the
table. What are you saying?
Impulsively, she reached across the table and
placed her hand over his fist. Please don t be
upset with me. I wanted to help you.
I know. What did she say?
She stared down at her hand over his. He d
loosened his fist and she curled her fingers around
his. Slowly, she raised her gaze and met his.
Gunnar, if Tyler is not on the other side, then
where is he?
Their silence was deafening and she fixed her
gaze on the muscle clicking maddeningly along
his jaw.
Could she be mistaken?
She shook her head. She was certain your son
hasn t crossed over, she said gently.
His eyes glistened as his gaze held hers captive.
Do you realise what you re saying? Do you
understand what you re implying? He

swallowed hard.
I m sorry if this is a shock, but we can t ignore
the possibility.
He swore roughly under his breath and
removed his hand from hers. Pushing back from
the table, he staggered to his feet. No. There is no
possibility. Miracles don t happen to me. He
glanced at his watch. We d better get going.
She rose as he placed money on the table and
followed him outside. She d made a mess of
things. She should have waited until she d
confirmed the shocking reality that Tyler might
still be alive before she told Gunnar. Guilt
weighed her heart at the brief flash of hope she d
seen surface in his eyes before a shutter fell and
turned his expression to granite.
As they reached the car, she spotted Derek
across the street. She was about to wave hello at
him and stiffened, frowning at his expression. He
was staring at Gunnar and his usually pleasant,
youthful good looks were twisted into a
malevolent glare.
A low, deep growl rose from Gunnar and she
snapped her gaze at him, gasping. He was staring
back at Derek, his eyes steely, his face dangerously
grim.
Stella was stunned, their emotional moment in
the restaurant forgotten.
Gunnar opened her door and helped her in his
