What are your favorite saddest historical romances? The books that make you want to cry and not pretty cry like actually ugly sob

Oooh publishing because good question! I find it kinda hard to cry with books (and movies, TV) because of my weird compartmentalization thing, but! These made me cry, or at least made me *want* to. Not all of them are like, wholly sad, but they do have a good chunk of sadness at min.

The Scoundrel in Her Bed by Lorraine Heath. This has one of the only scenes that made me cry without having to sit and think about it; like, I didn't realize I was crying until I was crying, and it was a full, "breathe out and wipe at your eyes" situation. The situation in this book does hit home for me personally, but I also found it to be one of those horrible things where it's like... the only solution is to basically undo something that can't be undone. And it sucks because the thing wasn't done by the characters but to them--but it doesn't mean they can make it so that it didn't happen. OOF.

Waking Up with the Duke by Lorraine Heath. I always get really emotional when Ainsley and Jayne part as he brings her back to her husband, because it really has that like.... kind of cinematic, "the movie is ending and they're giving up" feeling. The way Lorraine wrote it feels so final, even though you know you have like 40% of the book left or something. It's rough.

A Rose at Midnight by Anne Stuart. This book is quite intense, and quite dark, and it really vividly describes the pain the heroine suffered in her past. I mean--just true horrors. It's that, and this really intimate catharsis she has with the hero, who she's hated for most of the book, at the end. This is a book about trauma and guilt and the parts of yourself you won't ever get back after something horrible happens, and what you do with what's left.

The Duke's Perfect Wife by Jennifer Ashley. The scene where Hart and Eleanor go to the tombs of his wife and baby son, oof. Like, the emotion over the baby really gets me. I also love a scene where the heroine like fully embraces the hero's love for people who came before her--romance can be kinda meh on that front sometimes, but this book does it very effectively. There's also a scene later in the book where Ian and Hart reunite and it's like--Ian never though they wouldn't find each other, and he's so upfront about it, and it's because their bond is so strong??? Truly I'm a sucker for a sibling bond.

In general, I really like that those core four Mackenzie brother books deal with some pretty heavy shit? Like they're funny, they're adventurous, they're super sexy. But you have Ian in his book struggling to communicate in a world that won't listen to him, and these gestures of love between the brothers that don't do what they need to, and Cameron's intense trauma from his marriage and him doing his best to be a good father while being imperfect; and Mac and Isabella dealing with the reality of being truly in love but not truly right for each other at the time. It's GREAT.

Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt. Dude, everything to do with Isabel's infertility in this novel. Like, her trying to shake Winter off by dropping that bomb on him, and Winter being like "no it is a loss, I would've loved to have had babies with you, but I want you more than imaginary babies"--like, the acknowledgment that he loves her more than hypothetical kids, but IT DOES SUCK THAT THEY CAN'T HAVE BIOLOGICAL KIDS. Like, it's so real for him to acknowledge that they will be okay but this situation sucks and it's not okay. Her breaking down over her inability to have a baby, her bond with her husband's illegitimate child that is just so tenuous, the big scene at the end, the fact that there is no magic baby. It's a lot.

OH DUDE. And there's a scene where Winter has to make a really tough call for this kid who he has like, pseudo-adopted... and he's making the right decision for the kid, but it's very painful for Winter personally, ESPECIALLY when set against the backdrop of a plot that basically is about how Winter and Isabel won't be able to have a baby together. Lol so much of this book is hammering home how Winter and Isabel are such good parents, essentially, but they can't have a biological child. It is ROUGH. When Winter says goodbye to that kid, I CRY.

When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath. Dude, when Lovingdon uncovered Grace's secret... And the way it makes him confront his trauma over losing his wife and child and his fear of loving someone and losing them??? GOD.

Lorraine Heath is also really good at writing a book that's like "life isn't guaranteed, you've gotta just love and live boldly despite that" which is a complete callout.

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. The moment when Gracewood recognizes Viola by her freckles. That is a fucking LOT, dude. Overall this is a lighter, romp of a book, which I think is important because it's basically meant to give us an old school adventurous historical with a trans heroine... But it luxuriates in a type of sorrow at points that isn't at all about Viola being trans, but about the time she lost with Gracewood, the survivor's guilt and physical and metaphorical pain he's suffered from since they last saw each other. It's a lot, dude.

The Dragon and The Pearl by Jeannie Lin. There's a despairing love confession following a very intimate scene, and everything feels like it's just not going to be resolved? (And they discussed this a lot in a recent episode of Fated Mates, but--to me, a lot of the best romance novels give you a "how is this going to end in an HEA???" moment.) And it's so quiet and intense and I love it.

Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. The grand gesture at the end of this book. It's so meaningful. It did have me crying a good bit. Don't wanna spoil, it's too good. I mean, this book is about a woman who was born into slavery working with the Underground Railroad.... it's sad. But it's also so optimistic and full of joy.

I met Tim and Jayne after the second preview of “Still” tonight! 😃

Amazing play, amazing performance! Funny, moving, thought-provoking. 👏🏻 It was so good that if it had gone on and on, I wouldn’t have minded at all. I didn’t want it to end.

The theater was so much smaller than I thought! I had seen photos of the place and yet it felt even smaller. I was in the 5th row, not far at all. Glad I wasn’t at the back cause it may have been hard to hear. 🤔

Funny how he has the same little gestures as in other things he’s played or even in real life (based on the interviews).

After the play, he took the time to say hi and talk to some people he knew that had come to see the play and had waited for him in the lobby. Very kind with all of them, funny too. I patiently waited.

I cut myself off from the photo with Tim and Jayne. 😜 Second one was actually taken before. I believed Tim ordered a Uber or driver as he had asked Jayne “Should I do this?” just before. Then he said “the driver is 1 min away, that never happens!”. 😄

Still managed to find the courage to go up to him, I apologized and said I didn’t want to take too much of his time as they had to go. Still, I was able to tell him what I wanted. Also, when I left and opened the door (as they followed to get out), I added “it’s nice to be able to look up to someone kind and generous” and Jayne said “Yes, that’s him.” 😉

5. Do they masturbate often? , 9. When was the last time they had a wet dream? Bonus if you can describe it as much as you can in detail. , 13. What’s their favorite sex position(s)? , 14. What’s their least favorite sex position(s)? , 17. How long can they last before they cum?, 20. Are they proud of their kinks? Is there a kink they’re too ashamed to share? (For Jayn!! You can answer all of these or just some of them! Your choice~)

5) hahahno yeah, she does. Like Pogue, she's a very...tactile...person.

9) she had it when she fell asleep during class. She's really hoping that nobody heard her say anything out loud & that she wasn't making any obvious noises, because that dream nearly made her jump her partners the next moment she saw them. Said dream involved the Hogwarts Gryffindor common room, the OT4 (ofc), a love potion & the steady rumble of a thunderstorm.

13) It depends on her mood. There's her more cuddly/romantic side vs. her horny/overeager side. Then it's a question of whether she's giving/receiving. Romantic Giving: whatever her partner likes the most, honestly. She just likes seeing them blush & smile as they enjoy themselves. Horny Giving: teasing using her hands. It gives her lots of control so she can make things sudden or torturously slow. Romantic Receiving: plain missionary, with her on her back, looking into her partner's eyes as their breathy sighs & giggles comingle. It's easy to fall into cuddles after they're done. Horny Receiving: oral, even though she's a sucker for being teased & edged. It's best for when she's been stressed out over more than a few days.

14) either stuff that involves someone standing + a wall (sorry, but Jayn's not the most fit, nor is she the tallest) OR reverse cowgirl. She's fairly sure she nearly broke Pogue's dick trying that 2nd one. They never talk about that night. He couldn't sit properly for days & that was after using ice.

17) hahahAHAHA. If she's by herself, maybe 3-5 min & that's because she knows how to edge. With her partners, who she's trusted so much of herself with...maybe 2 min max. Just being with them, seeing them in certain positions can make her horny, so them actively trying to get her off is sexy as is!

20) she was mostly ashamed to share her kinks when she & Pogue 1st started sleeping together, because 1) he's her 1st relationship, 2) she had IDEAS from the Internet that hadn't all been tested out, 3) Pogue's WAY more experienced than she is & 4) women aren't exactly encouraged to be horny the way men are in the Western world. But once she got used to Pogue seeing her naked & being affectionate with her in public, pretty much all her worries went out the window. She's still paranoid when it comes to taking nudes, though. & she has the semi-irrational fear that her parents will SOMEHOW find out what she's "already done". As far as what she's ashamed of her partners finding out (though they might already know): voyeurism (whether it's 3 of them with each other OR porn) & letting the guys come inside her.

Edmonton, AB, Canada - October 4, 2023

There is a term that has stuck with me in the last few weeks, fill your bucket. This week off be it a mental health week or vacation is in many ways been me trying to fill my bucket at least enough to last me till December. I am going to need it given the amount ensuing drama that is going to continue in my life going forward.

While my trip to Edmonton wasn’t entirely what I was hoping for it has definitely at least put some happiness or peace in my bucket. For possibly my last trip to Edmonton for awhile I am trying to treat it like it may be the last time. I am currently sitting in what is probably the oldest part of the airport which is fitting though to be honest most of my memories with Edmonton and airports are from the downtown airport though I have used this airport much more and for longer. It is funny how certain things linger in your mind if it was from childhood than adulthood but I think it is because they are usually happy thoughts or thoughts that shape you.

The pilot of the plane to Edmonton said it would be a hour flight but if it was it felt like the longest hour I have had in a long time, I have had hours at work shorter than that. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep through that hour but the residual issues I have been dealing with lately ran. rough shot over my mind.

When I arrived I was greeted by my friend whom by October 20 or 21 I will have been friends with for 10 years. What proceeded was probably one of the more happier days I have had this year if not the happiest, honestly I would say it, it was the happiest day of 2023 or year 38. I have a hard time believing any other day will come close, time with my parents do not count.

Me and my friend spent the whole day just walking and talking everywhere. Both me and her have had better days and I wanted this day to be a day we could just have fun and forget our ills. I couldn’t talk her into bowling, amusement park stuff or water park so all we wound up doing was having lunch, lots of walking around everywhere talking about life and shit which concluded having beer at some random craft beer bar in downtown Edmonton. There were hopes that I could spend time with her on Sunday but that was not meant to be. I am just thankful I got to spend a full day with her, the longest I ever spent with her since the first few times we were around each other almost 10 years ago. Any time I have come here it was usually just for breakfast, afternoon, evening beer and that was that.

Last time I was here I cried my eyes out as soon as I got to my hotel because I forgot how good it felt to be around my friends or be around people I care about and I knew it was going to be a long time before I would get that time again. I should have and I feel like if I spent enough time lingering about it I could cry right now given I may not see her for a long time. I don’t want to say never again, I refuse to let that grenade touch my mental psyche right now. I feel like I have lost enough. I know not as much as others have but lost enough people who are important to me. I am not going to think that was the last, if it was I am still thankful for that day, I needed it.

Sunday morning and afternoon was spent first Jayne hatting followed by going to an Edmonton Oil Kings versus Lethbridge Hurricanes WHL game. Barely anyone was at the game but then I guess it’s not surprising given it was Thanksgiving Sunday and an afternoon game to boot. The only issue I had was that the security for such a minuscule game was rather strict. When I went to a NHL game the security was less tight. I was able to bring my travel side pouch with no issues this time they told me they would not let me in with it even if I let them look at everything. It is a good thing I came early and my hotel was 15 min away. By the time I came back the game was just starting and even then they patted me down and made it seem like I could be carrying a bomb. I seem to have flagged repeatedly by airport and arena as a questionable person. Maybe it is just my look, I have always looked like a dangerous person. Even though I am not, at least unless threatened.

After the game I bought a 6 pack of beer with some water and lemon juice. Wound up being a mistake because I only drank two beers from that 6 pack. By the time I got back to the hotel that night I didn’t feel like doing much drinking because I knew it would fuck up my sleep and sleep was more important. I figured I would have 2 more nights to finish it. I probably could have last night but again but I definitely wasn’t Monday night. So the janitor I hope will be able to enjoy the free beer I left for her in my hotel or someone could.

Monday morning I worked out because I figured nothing was going to be open till 10 am anyway and I wanted to try and keep the gains I have made in the last few months. One of the benefits of having no life outside of work but exercise is that I have definitely got more muscular and I feel more confident about my body, everything except my abs but that will never be perfect or what I want. That said I went to Kingsway Garden Mall which was my parents favourite mall growing up. I know I have said this many times before but I barely recognize it anymore outside of the corridors or roundabouts that bring up memories of walking around it with my parents.

I followed that by going to Whyte Ave only to find most of the things I went to for were closed because of it being a stat holiday. Thing is I still had 4 hours before I met my cousin so I went to Brewster which was one of the few breweries that was open. I enjoyed a coconut Porter I hadn’t had in 7 years and it was still as good.

BC still has the best beer in the country pound for pound by quantity and quality but my favourite beer from my favourite styles come from Alberta, so there is that.

I drank too much but I was able to get back to my hotel to sober up enough to meet my cousin at the Craft Beer Market. It was only really expecting a 1-2 hour awkward chat about general things and what wound up happening was us chatting for 6 hours trading trading travel stories and life experiences to discover how much we have in common. I am not going to take credit for that much influence in her life but it just astounds me how she and I are alike to so many aspects of life. We drank way too much for a Monday night but we both knew it was probably going to be a long time before we hung out again and it was a special occasion. I feel like I got closer to her as family that night. It is a shame we can’t hang out more because I feel like we could be good friends as well as family. Another thing I do not want to linger on that I may not see her for awhile and that almost all of the people I am close to are all far away from me.

Tuesday I woke up way too damn early but that is because of the beer I had all day the previous day and had to spend my last full day in Edmonton with a lingering hang over. I won’t regret it because of the time I spent with my cousin but sucks walking around all day with a light headache and stomach that hates you. The hangover lasted all day, I do not feel it was all because the beer thought I do think it played a big part as much as I think it was also the lack of sleep.

Tuesday was my last full day to spend in Edmonton so I spent doing what I always do when I am in Edmonton something that is the longest standing tradition in a list of traditions I have here and that is going to the water park.

I was worried that being it was a Tuesday that the park would either be not open or few slides would be open. Thankfully I was wrong on both counts and the best thing about it was going first thing allowed me to enjoyed many of the rides with little to no line up. The only bother was going up the stairs. The Tropical Typhoon which I call the toilet bowl slide was not going to open for another 2 hours which was a bummer as I probably would have left sooner if it was but I am thankful to a degree, it allowed me to fully enjoy the classics as well as the brand new slides. Not all of the slides were open; blue bullet was closed and so was the interactive tube slide but I never cared for those slides.

Growing up the slides I went on a lot that still remain were the 2 twister slides and the howler. The howler was my favourite but the cannon ball overtook it till it became the toilet bowl which became my favourite but to be honest I found myself enjoying the classics more this time around especially the howler. Maybe it was because of nostalgia taking back to the many years as a kid enjoying that slide. The wave pool was also fun, the waves seemed much bigger today that in the past. I am sure if it is because of renovations, fewer people in the pool or just who was operating it decided to make bigger waves but I enjoyed my last time in the wave pool was spent on big waves.

By the time the typhoon, cyclone and sky screamer opened I was very much tired and ready to be done. Twister has you go to the very roof of the building which is many stories high and I went on those slides if you combined the two together 6 times not counting the others. As strong as my legs are I am not that young anymore and adding a headache to it made it more tiring.

I was hoping the last slide I would be on before leaving would be my first favourite the howler but it closed by the time I was ready to go probably to make sure the typhoon had coverage. I was a bit bummed but I did get to ride it 2-3 times as well anyway. Instead I ride the two twister slides one more time oddly sort of saying my goodbyes to it. These slides whom I highly doubt were there as long has I have been alive do look like they have been around for years. I do not look young but I am not sure it is because of esthetics or because they are actually old but none the less I am sure they have been slid down by me many times over the years so I initially said my goodbye to them. I couldn’t help reminisce during those two slides me going down them for the first time as a child, then pre teen, teen to adult to now.

After I left them I was ready to go but I noticed the typhoon which is normally busy and had no line so I decided to finish it with the slide I initially came to see and went down the toilet bowl slide one more time.

Now all that was left was to go to Bourbon Street to go to the Spaghetti Factory, I already fulfilled that tradition with my friend on Saturday but I was hungry after 6 or 7 hours of walking and sliding. I changed the script this time though. I normally have the same dish I always have every time but this time I has my friend’s dish. She gave me a taste and it was good so I figured I would do something slightly different at the restraunt I went to every time for well over 20 years.

The last thing that was left was to say goodbye to West Edmonton Mall itself. So much of my childhood and adult fun was spent here, so many long standing memories. It has changed quite a lot but it was still very much the same as it once was. I could write a book of my memories here and I almost annoyingly recited my memories to my friend when we hung out. I am not going to lie more for my benefit to reminisce than my friend’s.

I took the bus back and my headache flared up which meant no drinking so I decided to go to bed early as I felt my body was now ready to try and get my long standing sleep debt paid off. I slept for nearly 11 hours. It was one of the better sleeps I have had since my German friends were here.

So now it is Wednesday afternoon and after awkward miscue with a Uber driver that wound up making my fare to get to YEG much more expensive I am now ready to go to the last half of my mental health week off, off to a place I and you know so well; Victoria. This half will be much more chill even though my trip has been relatively chill anyways but this will be one I will probably be spending more alone than the other. Maybe maybe not I do not know, I feel as though I am alone or will be alone most of the time but I hope not for the entirety. This will not be my last time in Victoria I think but if things go the way I think they are going it will be one of the last times. Till I retire of course.

Well it is boarding time, let’s get to my favourite city. Shazbot nanu nanu

ok yes re: cop out endings in transatlantic, v much thought the last 20 min was rushed and that they hadn't really thought out what to do with thomas once varian returned to the states (bc he did return irl so they had to do it) and how to end albert and paul's arcs. would have been much more satisfying and in character if varian was forced out, more like mary jayne, rather than choosing last minute to leave w the chagalls (and abandoning bingham?). the scenery was GORG tho and the performances were *chef's kiss*

(transatlantic spoilers!!!) this is super late, but PRECISELY. i mean, while albert's ending made sense to me personally because we'd been shown his struggle whether to Leave or to Stay time and again throughout the whole show, and given his personality and background it really wasn't a surprise that ultimately he'd choose to stay rather than go with mary jane (or even his sister!), i feel like with varian, the show had failed to make his ending believable (even though, like you said, they didn't really have any choice, as that's what Really Happened). his main arc in this show had been overcoming his own personal idea of cowardice + learning how to help outside of the limits of the System, and all of that had been inevitably tied up with his relationship with thomas, and he'd been getting further and further along with every ep. so his decision to leave - and to part his way with thomas! with such a cold goodbye! and abandoning bingham as well!!! - so abruptly didn't really land, because the creators didn't show /any/ moment before that that might have helped us viewers understand his motivation to fucking pivot. and the fact that we didn't even get a, like, 20 seconds long scene with an abandoned thomas at the very least felt like an additional slap in the face. he didn't get a proper send off in any way, and the viewers didn't get any sort of closure re: varian's arc with thomas as opposed to albert+mary jane - although that wasn't perfectly handled as well, yeah. but still, the camera gave us one last glimpse at mary jane in that plane, alone, but not devastated, and we saw albert and paul driving off somewhere, all motivated to keep fighthing, and we briefly witnessed varian's struggle to keep his composure in the car - but we knew he'd continue to help out from the states, and then there was Nothing when it came to thomas, rip.

Thank you so much of the recs, I was also recommended Romancing Mr Bridgerton for carriage scenes and guest what? It was bad too 🤣 I won't trust anyone who recommends me Bridgerton books

I think that was a scene with some mild titty sucking, right?

.... Yeah I'll stick with what Joanna Shupe and Grace Callaway are doing with that shit lol. (I think? Indigo has a solid 90s-era carriage bang too, but I'm not sure, I need to reread.)

I think JQ can write some cute, funny moments, but I really don't get the hype, and I tend to feel like a lot of people who recommend her for HR are only recommending her because she's the ONLY one they've read (because of Bton). The only books I'd recommend from that series are The Viscount Who Loved Me and When He Was Wicked and even those aren't like... INCREDIBLE. The others fall into mid (The Duke and I, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton) to forgettable (It's In His Kiss, On the Way to the Wedding) to .... really bad (To Sir Phillip with Love, An Offer from a Gentleman). And I'm constantly told "try the other things she does!" and I will, because I have one with a really good title on my shelf!

... But I've read 8 (technically 9 because for some reason I grabbed that epilogue book at a used bookstore) and only 2 have actually worked for me. It doesn't really matter if they're from the same series--when your series is that long I'm ideally looking for a 4/8 "solidly good to great" score min.

Her sex scenes, though, are some of my least favorites. I actually don't NEED sex scenes to be incredibly explicit. That's my preferred route, lol. But Lorraine Heath is one of my favorite authors, and though her scenes are explicit (to me, anything open door suggests a level of explicitness--if it's telling you something is going inside something and something is flicking something and so on, I think we're getting into the explicit realm even if it remains flowery) they use pretty euphemistic language and don't spell everything out. But dude, Julia just... I don't know. I think it's probably because I'm so unconvinced of the relationships in a lot of those books that I can't fill in the blanks and be convinced that everyone is having good sex. Like, I remember in TSPWL when he goes down on her (something I literally forgot he did because it's so forgettable lol) there's this cut to Eloise like "screaming" and I was all "LOL REALLY. AFTER ONE LICK. REALLY."

And the thing is that there are others that I'll let get away with that. Lorraine can get away with that, lol. But first off, I don't actually think she does that that often (most Bton heroines don't get their pussies eaten, sadly, but they do respond to practically zero stimulation like they're getting it from the back with a vibe in play) secondly, she's written such great chemistry and such hot heroes that I'm like "fine, I can believe that THAT guy has IT". But like... for example, in Waking Up with the Duke she writes this scene where Ainsley, who's known to be one of the greatest lovers in London (IT'S IN THE SERIES TITLE) goes down on Jayne for the first time, and like... she's hesitant to enjoy it initially. She's like, back bowing immediately, because this is a pretty conflicted, clinical moment for them. As good as he IS at it, she's not immediately into it.

Because Lorraine makes choices like that, I think her sex scenes tend to feel fuller than they are, and a lot fuller (and hotter) than anything JQ writes.

Anyway, here have an essay lol

"I know I should let you go, but I can't bear the thought of living without you." (And, lastly, a lil' Cass and Caleb heartbreaking au scene :) )

He shouldn'tve said that. That was irresponsible of him, to be saying that to her when she was the one sobbing and tugging at his shirt, pleading for him to go into hiding with her and their friends.

"Cass. Cassia, stop." It was supposed to come out as a hiss or a snap, something mean so she'd want to let go of him. Caleb forced himself to look away, to Ipswich burning in the distance and then over to Pogue, who was waiting by his motorcycle--a blue one. Yellow motorcycles reminded him of the beating that'd landed him in the hospital years before. Caleb locked eyes with Pogue and the two had a silent conversation, the last of many that they'd shared over the long time they'd known each other. Then Caleb looked back down at his girlfriend. "Cassia, I love you. But I gotta go." She'd buried herself in his shirt, right next to the dried patch of Reid's blood. Pogue pulled her out, and all the way back to his bike. She screamed, but she let him. That was the thing about Cass: she always let you be who you were and loved you for it. No matter what.

Caleb watched as Pogue got her on his Ducati, putting the helmet on her head for safety. She'd need it--the apocalypse had just been halted, after all. She sat down first, and Pogue got on behind her, driving towards town. There were still people that needed help evacuating since the fires had touched pretty much every part of town. Ironically, Danvers Manor would be one of the only places in Ipswich that remained.

"You really meant that, didn't you?" Caleb's jaw clenched right as his hands turned to fists. Chase.

"I did, yeah."

"How sweet. Well, the good news is, you won't have to live without her." The demon appeared in front of him, fangs making his shark-like grin even worse. Chase hadn't aged a day, but most of his hair had burnt away. His nails had grown into black claws, his eyes became a blank white, horns broke the skin on his forehead, and patches of scales randomly decorated his body.

"Caleb!" SHIT. Cassia had teleported back, back to where Pogue had been standing. Chase didn't even look at her. He just smiled even wider.

"Say cheese, Caleb. Your girlfriend's watching." There was a sudden, sharp pain, and Cassia cried out like she'd been slapped. But she wasn't the one Chase had chosen. The demon took pleasure in squeezing the weakly-beating heart he'd snatched as the witch girl sank to her knees in disbelief. Caleb stumbled forward, and Chase caught him with his free hand. "You didn't say cheese. Disappointing, hubby," he whispered.

---

Caleb woke with a gasp. He immediately went to feel that his heart was, in fact, still in his chest. It was, but unfortunately, his heartbeat was still racing, and it took a minute or two before he could even breathe properly. He moved to sit on the side of the bed and muffled a scream with his pillow, eyes beginning to tear up. Once he'd stopped trembling, and the afterimage of Chase's grin had left his mind, he went for his cell phone, checking for texts. There was just one.

[Jayn, 15 min ago]: Are you OK?

She must've heard him screaming, or...something like that. After all, her room was right next to his. He texted her back.

[Caleb]: Yeah. Bad dream. I'm OK 🙂

He wondered if she could hear the screaming in the emoji's frozen smile, he thought with a sigh. It was 3 AM, so she might not come to his room, but she'd ask him about it later on during breakfast. Would she tell Cassia?

The echo of her scream was still in his head. He went to their last conversation and stared at the six letters that formed her name. Caleb still hadn't told her (or Jayn) anything about Chase. The other guys hadn't either, because if they had, she would have come to him asking questions. He was the one who had fought Chase and came out with two deaths on his conscience. But that was the thing--Chase was dead. No, the firefighters hadn't found his body, and neither had the Sons. They'd made a pact to keep from Using for three whole days, just so that any bit of the Power floating out there could be definitively traced back to one source. Reid kept his promise, as did Pogue and Ty. Caleb was pretty sure they did it because they felt bad for him, though. His mom, Gorman, sort of Sarah before she cut her losses and left--they all felt bad for him.

Caleb wasn't used to people giving him that look. Sad eyes, no words. He didn't want that from Jayn or Cass. So they didn't need to know. Chase wasn't coming back.

Hopefully, Caleb would convince himself of that one day.

[Caleb, to Cass]: I love you ♥

It wasn't the most romantic way to tell her that he'd fallen for her, but he'd make it up to her later. He put his phone back on the nightstand and got under the covers, eyes open. He'd had enough dreams for one night.
