relationship department.”
    He gave her a soft, enigmatic smile. “Not everything in this life is explainable, Kelly. It is just hard for you to comprehend with your limited mind.”
    She looked down and let her breath out in a short huff. “It’s not just me, you know,” she said, sounding much more irritable than she’d meant to. “It’s all humans. I’m better than most.”
    He tipped her chin up with his finger, and her heart fluttered at the way his amazing eyes sparkled. “Magical things exist. Wondrous things that are unable to be explained.”
    She shook her head. “It’s just hard for me. It’s hard for me to be able to feel your touch and watch you eat, but know that no one else, except Chad, can even see you. It’s hard for me to watch you down a whole hoagie and not wonder where the heck it went, or if you even have a stomach at all.” She frowned. “That’s another thing, I really don’t understand why you have a heartbeat when you don’t have blood.”
    He chuckled and continued to toy absently with her hair, wrapping a strand around his finger. “You created me, Kelly. I came from your imagination. I can only assume that I am able to do the things you mention because everyone you knew was the same. Why would a little girl create a thing that had no heart or that couldn’t eat if it wanted to, when everyone around her had a heart and ate on a regular basis?”
    “It just doesn’t make sense. The physics are—”
    “Not everything in this world makes sense.” He whispered the words against her ear, and a thousand electrical currents shot straight down her spine. She closed her eyes and drew in a shaky breath as pure, unadulterated lust washed over her in waves. Holy cow, if her mind had altered him to fit into her “more womanly” life, it had gone above and beyond the call of duty. It must think she was pathetic and desperate and needed some action because, regardless of Garren being number one: technically a lot older than her, and number two: not exactly real, he was the sexiest male she had ever set eyes on. Sensuality radiated off him just like his power did. Five points to her subconscious.
    “All right, all right, I get it,” she said. “Not everything in life makes sense. Who cares if you have a stomach? I’ll just have to wonder the rest of my life.” His soft chuckle heated her blood even more, and she turned her attention up to him. He was studying her with his magnificent violet eyes and she shivered. They looked like they had seen so much. Was it weird to be attracted to your childhood imaginary friend? She was sure that it probably was in at least ten different ways, but she wasn’t really sure if she cared.
    “Can I try that one now?” he asked, pointing to the Napoleon.
    She looked over at the dessert and smiled. “Sure.” She picked it up and handed it to him.
    He took a bite and savored that one as much as the first bite of cheesecake. “This is pure heaven, I swear,” he said. “Here, you have some.”
    He held the Napoleon up, and she leaned in to take a bite. She giggled as the flaky pastry went all over her shirt and stuck to her lips as she chewed. Garren grinned and gently reached up to wipe the crumbs off her lips. Kelly’s heart faltered, then lurched in a violent way. Dang, he really needed to stop being so friggin’ sexy. And he wasn’t even trying. That made it even worse.
    She cleared her throat. “So, you’re made up of thought and belief. There’s no way that one of your kind can become a real person?”
    His brow furrowed in thought for a moment. “There is a myth, but that is all.”
    She waited, but when he didn’t elaborate, she raised an eyebrow and gestured for him to continue.
    He shrugged. “In the Creative Realm, there is a myth that if enough people believe in a creature of thought, the creature can become a living person, but it has never happened. Odds are, it never will. This world is too preoccupied with itself to
