Daniel POV
I stare in awe at Jaessa as she crouches down to the very place where we found all that was left of Haley on the day of her disappearance. My awe turns to puzzlement as I can see a confused sense of recognition fall over her perfect face. She is troubled, and questioning, I can feel it in my soul, and all I want is to take her in my arms while promising to help her find all the answers her soul desires.
I shake off the impossible thoughts and the need driving them, as I watch her work. She seems so sure of herself while also so insecure at the same time. When she mutters words which I cannot decipher, I watch as her entire body tenses and nearly convulses before she collapses on the ground in a slump.
“Jaessa?” I call to her as I rush to her side. She does not respond
