"No, dearest." Sebastian smiled revealing a set of perfectly white teeth. "I am quite real. Care to have a touch?" His eyebrows went up emphatically. Madeline let out a breath she'd been holding for quite some time. She took two careful steps toward him, reaching out and poking his forearm with her index finger. He was warm, deliciously so. "Not exactly what I had in mind but whatever works for you, sweetheart." Sebastian shrugged playfully. Madeline moved further away, her eyebrows in knots above her puffy eyes. "So where are we sleeping?" "We?" She stuttered. What was going on? Her mind was full of overwhelming questions. Had she finally fallen off the deep end? Sure, she had been super sad, more down than she remembered being in a very long time, but she didn't think she had pushed herself to the extreme of hallucinating. "Yes, we." Sebastian was standing then. His height was impressive. She stumbled back with his nearness. He laughed, shaking his head. He really did find her to be quite amusing. Her nervousness made her all the more interesting. "Did you not miss me, Madsy?" Sebastian teased. "Because I most definitely missed you." Madeline Hunter is abandoned after graduation by her best and only friend Nolan Sinclair. Upon his leaving, her mind is flooded with visions from her past. With no one left to distract her from the miserable memories, she is visited by an old, slightly invisible friend that she hadn't thought about in years. Sebastian Bear is no longer the little boy she went on adventures with as a child. He has grown up and is eager to show her how much. Cover design by Lindsfrantz !
