Summary
from Goodreads:
For Christine, dreams have never been more than a pleasant dalliance in her subconscious or the occasional nightmare. Once she meets Gabriel, her dreams become vivid and shocking.
She spends time
with Gabriel and learns there is far more to dreams than she ever imagined. As
she becomes entangled in the truth, and her feelings for Gabriel, she finds
herself on the path to making the biggest, and strangest, decision of her life.
I can’t get her out of my head. Every time I blink, her sparkling
blue eyes are right there and I’m drawn to her against all reason.
It
isn’t just the eyes. It’s the way she looked at me. There’s a tempest
going on behind those eyes but she still sees me. No one’s done that
since…
I run my hands through my hair fighting the impulse to
tear it out. Damn, that girl completely got my number the second she
looked at me. It was crazy. It was unbelievable. I have to see her
again.
I head over to my bookshelf and run a finger over the edges of manila envelopes filed there. Which one should I choose?
Damn,
her eyes were amazing. But no, I have to pick an envelope. I shake my
head but it doesn’t dislodge the image of her eyes.
I pull out
an envelope and remove the few sheets of paper inside; one of my
‘journal’ entries. I skim the lines. Not bad. Maybe she would like
it.
No! What am I doing, going insane over this girl? We
haven’t even talked, I can’t just hand her a story the next time I see
her. What the hell would I say? ‘I just met you but I want you to read
this crazy shit I wrote.’ Yeah, that would be smooth, if I wanted to
go to jail, directly to jail. Do not pass Go. No two hundred bucks.
I take a deep breath and return the envelope to the shelf.
Chill out, I tell myself. She’s just a girl.
Yeah, right.
