Portal Take Two
Staring into the familiar eyes of her fiancé, Cadence could hardly believe what she was hearing. “What?” she asked, clutching both of his arms. “What do you mean she went through the portal?”
“She left a letter,” he explained, his voice just as calm and serene as always. He slid his hands down her arms, and taking her hands in his, he continued. “Come on. I’ll show you.”

“How is she?” Elliott asked as Aaron stepped through the back door, joining him on a large wraparound porch that consumed most of the outside of the house.“Not good,” Aaron admitted, shaking his head. “She’ll be all right in a few days, though.” While he would like to say this was just optimism, unfortunately, he’d seen his fiancée go through enough deaths to know about how long it would take her to begin to recover. “How are you?” he asked, turning to face his friend.

As they approached Cadence’s neighborhood, Aaron turned to Elliott and said, “I don’t think you can just walk in there. That’ll be a little too much all at once.”“Right,” Elliott nodded. “Why don’t you let me out here, and I’ll disappear for a while. You can just let me know when you’re ready for me to make my grand entrance.”

“When did you learn about this portal of the blue moon?” Liz asked awkwardly.Despite the situation, Cadence was tempted to chuckle at her mother’s phrasing. “Grandma told me about it last week.

Cassidy looked at her sister for a second, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes that Cadence hadn’t seen since before the incident in Philadelphia. She also glanced at the expectant faces of her parents before she turned to look at Brandon, whose eyes were the size of saucers. Without another word, Cassidy pulled herself up off the couch and slowly proceeded to the front door. Cadence wanted to give her some privacy, but at the same time, she didn’t want to miss her sister’s expression if Elliott’s impeccable timing had led him to choose that exact moment to reveal the good news.

Cadence had fallen asleep after dinner, but not before giving Aaron careful instructions on what to do with her laundry, which she’d managed to put in the washer but hadn’t quite gotten into the drier before she’d convinced him to force her to go to bed. Clearly, she was exhausted. It had been a very long week, and her emotions had been on a roller coaster.After tucking her in, he made his way down the stairs to follow through with his promise to throw her clothes in the drier. He passed Elliott and Brandon having a conversation about sports in the living room and steered cl

Cadence slept like a rock. While she was very comfortable in the apartment she shared with Aaron in Kansas City, there was just something about being at home that always made her feel comfortable, and while she hadn’t always fallen right to sleep during any of her previous visits, the events of the last week had left her exhausted. For once, she was asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.The sun was peeking through the pink curtains that hung over each of the three windows in her bedroom when she opened her eyes to realize her sister was sitting next to her, jabbing her in the

No one understands! There is literally no one else in the entire world like me!”By the time she finished the last sentence, tears we

“Okay,” Aaron said, with a simple shrug, sitting next to Cadence on her parent’s front porch swing. After a large breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs, and her mother’s signature made-from-scratch biscuits, which she had devoured almost as ferociously as Elliott and Brandon, Cadence had dragged herself outside to talk to her fiancé about the prospect of Cassidy moving to headquarters for good. While, she’d dreaded the conversation, she thought it was best to get it over with quickly rather than let it linger; he would know there was something she wasn’t telling him anyway.
