Talia's POV I still cannot remember what I was thinking. I think it's most probably either because I was thinking so much that my mind could not focus on one thought, or that I was thinking nothing at all, and my mind was so blank that I was overwhelmed by everything. Still, my first instinct was to jump towards Aurelia and throw my arms around her, to kiss her without thinking about whatever wetness it was that was on her skin and to dig my quivering hands into her wet hair. "Oh Goddess," I gasped. "Aurelia..." She held on to me with uncertainty, and I felt it in how her hands held me, so I came to stand right in front of her just so she could see me better. "It's me, Talia," I said with a swallow. She stared even harder at me, the confusion etched all over her face most obvious
