his head. “I don’t
have a clue what you two are thinking, but I can sure guess.” He turned to
Tyler. “Let her have the bed. Maybe tomorrow night, wherever we are, you two
can compromise, and you can have the bed.”
    Or we
can share the bed ,
Tyler rationalized. She raised her eyebrows and blushed. Tyler bit his lip and
looked away. He obviously hadn’t meant to share that particular thought.
    Whether
or not he was aware of the awkward moment that had passed, Eddie helped to ease
the tension. “Hey, Tyler, do you have the remote for the TV over there?”
    “Nope, I
don’t see it.”
    After a
quick search of the room, which resulted in no remote, Tyler pressed the power
button on the television but discovered that the buttons to change the channel
were broken off.
    “Ugh, I
think I would rather watch nothing than have to listen to a show on politics,”
Liliana said. “Did you try to push the spot where the channel buttons used to
be? Are you sure it won’t work?”
    “Yeah,
I’m sure,” Tyler said. “You sure there’s no remote over there?”
    Liliana
peeked in the nightstand drawer for a second time. “Nope. Nothing but a bible.”
    “What do
you want to watch?”
    “Anything
but this. Why? Are you going to make the channel magically change?”
    “Maybe,”
Tyler said, with a sly grin.
    He moved
to sit on the front of her bed and situated himself in front of the television.
He stared at the screen for a moment, and then suddenly, the political talk
show was replaced by the news, a game show, a homicide detective show, and then
a re-run of an old sitcom.
    “Will
this do?” He turned to face her with a proud smile.
    She was
speechless as she looked back and forth between the television and Tyler.
“That’s so cool! How did you do that?”
    Tyler
grinned. “Just one of my many talents.”
    “Well,
thanks. I don’t suppose there’s anything you can do about the heat? It’s still
freezing in here.”
    “Let me
take a look,” Eddie said. He fiddled with the dials on the heater, cranked up
the fan, and held his hand over the vents, but it only blew out cold air.
    Liliana
peered over. “Is it broken?”
    “Looks
like it. Give me a minute. I should be able to do something with it.”
    Liliana
watched with curiosity as Eddie rested both hands on top of the heater and
closed his eyes. A moment later he turned to her. “You cold? Come over here and
stand by the heater for a minute. It’ll warm you right up.”
    “You
fixed it?” Even though she was exhausted, the prospect of heat was enough to
get her off the bed, and she hurried to the heater in anticipation. “Oh my
gosh, thank you!” She rubbed her hands over the blowing air and closed her
eyes, allowing the heat to warm her through.
    Eddie
smiled. “You’re welcome. Now that we’re not freezing, maybe we’ll be able to
get some sleep tonight.”
    They
watched TV until Liliana could no longer keep her eyes open. “I’m exhausted,”
she said. “If you guys don’t mind, I think I’m going to bed.”
    “I hear
ya,” Eddie said. “It’s probably going to be another long day. We should get
some rest.”
    Curled
up under the blankets, Liliana felt the cusp of sleep open its arms to greet
her when Tyler’s silent voice filled her head. You asleep yet? he
thought.
    She
smiled to herself as his thoughts invaded her mind. She had, in fact, been
thinking of him before she had closed her eyes. Even though it was impractical,
she felt an undeniable attraction for him. I was almost asleep.
    Oh…sorry.
I just thought you might be awake, still. I’ll let you go back to sleep. Night.
    Wait,
it’s okay…really. I probably won’t sleep that great anyway. I’ve got too much
on my mind. I’d rather talk to you.
    You
would? He sounded
both surprised and pleased.
    Well…sure.
I mean, I’ve never met anyone I could mentally communicate with. It’s kinda
cool, don’t you think? But then again, I guess you’re used to it with your
brother,
