EXCERPT
“Has he said anything?”
“Nothing new. Just the same old ravings of an old, delusional man.”
Dylan stared out the window of his third-floor room. In the courtyard below, people walked, sat, talked, or did whatever they did. Some were in wheelchairs pushed by orderlies. Others were, essentially, left to their own devices.
A dangerous thing in a place like this.
He could hear the nurse and doctor just outside his door. For thirty-five years, he’d been trying to explain everything, but no one believed him. No one believed he’d inherited an English manor. No one believed the love of his life had simply… vanished in that decrepit place.
For thirty-five years, he’d struggled to find answers, but none came. So he’d stopped telling people, stopped begging to go to the house and look for Alec.
His door opened, but Dylan didn’t turn around from the window.
“Mr. Carrick, you have a visitor,” the nurse said.
“Tell them to go away,” he muttered.
“Dylan.”
His heart nearly stopped. Dylan turned slowly, unable to reconcile that voice to the man now standing in his doorway. The nurse quietly left.
“You…” Dylan shook his head. “You were gone. The house…”
Alec sat on the bed and studied Dylan for a moment. He hadn’t aged a day, whereas Dylan had grown into an old man. “We need to talk.”
Nodding, Dylan walked over and sat beside the man he’d loved for so long. “What happened?”
“First things first,” Alec said. “I need you to wake up.”
