Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions (Wicked Lovely 5.50)

Just him.

Clean and dead.”

I remember watching Mickey

drag my body into the hall,

start CPR with Siobhan.

No matter how much they pressed

and breathed

and cried

and cursed

and screeeeeeeeamed,

I couldn’t come back.

“I’m sorry.”

Krista repeats my words.

“Who’s sorry?” Mickey asks her.

“You or him?”

“When I speak for myself,

I’ll hold up my hand.”

She makes a Boy-Scouty gesture,

then lowers her hand.

“Logan is sorry.”

He flinches at the sound of my name.

“What the hell’s he sorry about?”

“I don’t know,” I tell him.

“But you were really pissed off that night,

so I figured I should apologize.”

Mickey puts his head in his hands

when he hears my answer.

“I didn’t mean to yell at him.”

“You always yelled at me.”

I pause to let Krista translate.
