She blinked, her wide eyes lingering on the span of shadow, trying to adjust to the darkness. It seemed empty. Then she saw it. A shift. So slight she thought it might be in her eyes playing tricks on her. But the shift twisted into an outline. An outline of a person. Her breath hitched.

"Hello, Gwendolyn."

All the blood rushed to her toes. The words were carried by the rich, graveled voice of a man. A voice she now knew.

The second he stepped out of the shadows and into the dim light she was sure her heart had stopped. His eyes were locked on hers. Eyes Gwen hadn't been able to see in her dream. Eyes that seemed to gaze right through her. Eyes the color of frost.
