of your business. You’re violating my privacy.”
    “Your dirty little secret’s safe with me, hot lips. I’ll take it to my grave.” He smirks.
    “You’re annoying, I can’t even imagine what you’d be like in real life. A virgin yourself, no doubt.”
    “Now Sydney, that’s not very nice. Why would you think that?”
    “Because any girl in her right mind would be utterly insane to sleep with you.”
    “You’re sleeping with me right now.”
    “By force. You’re a dream rapist.”
    He laughs, spreading his delicious picture of perfectly straight white teeth before my eyes. “You’re starting to get vicious again, baby. I think it’s time for you to wake up now, before I put another love spell on you and actually LET you tear me apart this time.”

    My eyes fly open. My head turns toward the clock on my nightstand. It reads two-thirty p.m.
    I’m thrown into an instant panic as I remember the arrangement I’d made with Mia to visit my nephews today at noon. I snatch my phone from the nightstand and drop a quick text to my sister.
    Mia, I am so sorry! I overslept.
    It’s all good. I put them down for a nap. Just try to make it by sometime today. They are dying to see you.
    I will head out in about an hour.
    Sounds good. Can you bring food? Let’s have wings!!
    OMG that sounds good! I’ll pick ‘em up on the way.
    Yay! See ya soon <3
    While I am in a huge rush to get ready to visit my family, the first order of business is to test the Ouija board out. I’ve never used one, but I am aching to talk to Dominick, and vastly more anxious to see if it actually works. A small part of me still questions whether this is some twisted dream or if it’s truly reality. This will be the indicator. I’m awake—if he actually responds, there will be no question anymore.
    I lay it on the floor, placing my hands on the cursor, as instructed, careful to speak softly. I can’t take the chance of Heather overhearing.
    “Nick.”
    M.I.S.S...M.E…A.L.R.E.A.D.Y…
    “You really are a cocky little shit, aren’t you? Listen, do you know your psychiatrist’s first name?”
    N.O…
    “How can you expect me to figure this out with barely any information?”
    T.R.Y…H.A.R.D…
    “I have to go out, but we can talk more later.”
    W.H.E.R.E…A.R.E…Y.O.U…G.O.I.N.G…
    “Out,” I respond quickly, in a tone to remind him that he should mind his own business.
    I.L.L…M.I.S.S…Y.O.U…
    “Right.” His smart mouth is surprisingly endearing. “While I’m gone, think about any details at all that could be helpful. I will take more Ambien tonight so we have more time. We need to make the most of my sleep, there aren’t very many pills left.”
    H.A.V.E…F.U.N…W.I.T.H…Y.O.U.R…S.I.S.T.E.R…
    “Stay out of my head, Dominick. I’ll talk to you later.”
    I slip the board under the bed.
    A purple sweater and a pair of black yoga pants are as good as it’s going to get today. I feel slightly hung over from the sleep cocktail I ingested last night. I quickly glide over my teeth with my toothbrush and head out toward the kitchen to grab my keys. I run straight into Heather.
    “Good afternoon.” She smiles warmly.
    “I know! I can’t believe I slept this late,” I quickly respond.
    “Where ya’ headed off to in such a rush?” she asks.
    “I’m visiting Mia and the boys today. I’m super late.”
    “Yeah, I’m visiting Mom today, and helping out with one of her patients.”
    “That’s good. Well, have a good day. I really have to run. Mia wants me to pick up a late lunch, so I better jet.”
    I walk to toward the foyer to slip on my soggy shoes when Heather stops me.
    “Can I kiss you goodbye?” She blushes. “On the cheek, of course.”
    I walk toward her, beginning to blush myself, planting a soft sweet peck on her round cheek. This is an unexpected request for the typically shy Heather.
    “I’ll see ya’ later, honey.” I walk away.
    “Syd, wait.” She pauses briefly, nervously biting
