I laughed. “Well, I guess having psychic knowledge gives me an unfair advantage. Anyway, thank you for all your help, everyone. I’m sorry we all had to go through this, but I’m glad we did it together.”
“All right, this way, sleepyhead,” Thorn said as he stood and escorted me away from the garden and back to the inn. We moved through Kindred Spirits to the elevator and up to my shared room in a daze, and I could barely keep my eyes open for the ride, but thankfully I had Thorn’s shoulder to rest my head on.
The elevator’s ding jerked me back to full consciousness, and Thorn led me by the hand to my room. Sleepily, I opened it and, for the first time ever, welcomed him inside, which would’ve felt uncomfortable to do any time before, but now didn’t bother me at all.
I headed straight for the bed and climbed under the covers with my work robes still on, and though Thorn laughed as sat down beside me and pulled the comforter up, he didn’t object. Instead, he leaned over and kissed my forehead, and I felt like I was living a real-life fairy tale — like I was Sleeping Beauty about to be woken up by her prince or something.
“I’m not dreaming, am I?” I muttered with my eyes barely open.
“No, not yet. Sweet dreams, Selena,” Thorn said, squeezing my hand one last time before he stood, and for the first time in more than a week, I drifted off to sleep without fear of my dreams.
Because my best ones had already come true.
