Chapter 66 – Clash Of Worlds

• “J-Jesse?” I breathe, staring at my favorite cousin, blinking hard to ensure that he’s not a mirage.
• Jesse stares right back at me, his face the mirror image of my complete shock. But when he whispers my name and takes a step towards me, I know that he’s real – because there’s no way that some imitation could replicate that voice -
• A cry bursts from my throat as I leap out of my chair, sending it flying backwards, skittering out across the wooden floor. But I barely notice the clatter as I run for my cousin, throwing myself into his arms. Jesse clasps me tight to his chest, tucking his head down next to mine, shaking in his relief and surprise.
