The Dream Walker and Catcher

Chapter 10 - Welcome back?

Evans PoV

As I returned to my brothers apartment after taking some fresh air and had a conversation with Clare, I saw that my brother was already cooking some food.

'Welcome back, I assume you won't tell me where you were?'

'I just had to take some fresh air'

I put off my jacket and go to the refrigerator to get a drink

'For what?'

'Some thinking..' I said after taking the drink and sat on the couch

'About who?'

'What makes you think that it was about a person?' I asked curiously

'Since by thoughts I already sense it..'

'Can't you stop just for a second? It's awkward you know' I said after turning on the TV

'If I would do that, I wouldn't be able to know what's going on with you since don't talk about it and just lie'

I sighed at that and put my drink on the table and turned off the TV. Since he already knows about it, it's no point in hiding it.

'So about who is it?'

'Emma'

I saw that he was done with what he doing and sat next to me

'What about her?'

'It just feels like as if she is around me while I don't even know where'

'Since when did that feeling appear..?'

'Ever since...'

That's when it hit me. Could it be that...

'You met Clarice?' my brother added. I looked at him with confusion but then I realized it.

'Right.. mind reading.. got it'

He smiled at that 'Does she look like her?'

'That's the whole point. She's totally the opposite but...'

'But...?' he looked at me with serious eyes

'She saw it..'

'Saw what?'

'The thing in my eyes... Emma was the only who...'

I was just to speechless to talk about it. There was just something about her that took me off guard.

As my brother saw that I was struggling with words. He patted my shoulders

'Do you think that it's possible that she could be...'

'Emma? Yes I do. But it's a one in a million...'

'Nothing's impossible Evan. We don't know what happened to her, why she disappeared or how..'

When he was about the end his sentence. The timer went off for the food he was making.

'Ahh, diner's ready..' just when he was about to go away and get diner done. He came to me.

'If faith brought you back together then let it be so. If you think that she is Emma or just the possibility, then don't throw that opportunity away. I learned a thing or two of the mistakes I made and that is to never throw opportunities away you know you're never going to get back'

At such times, I'm glad that I'm close with my brother. The things he says, does always relieve and relax me a little.

I smiled at him when he was still looking concerned at me
