Chapter 38
The next morning, I wake up in Val's arms feeling exhausted. My body aches like I've been in a fight, and my head is pounding.
"How are you feeling?" Val asks softly, his hand stroking my hair.
"Like I got hit by a truck," I admit. "Is this normal?"
"DreamWalking takes a toll on your body," Val explains. "Especially when you do it accidentally. Your mind and soul were traveling
while your body stayed behind. It's disorienting."
I groan and bury my face in his chest.
"Abe wants to start training today," I mumble.
"I know," Val says gently. "But we can wait if you need to rest."
"No," I say, forcing myself to sit up. "The sooner I learn control, the sooner I can help you. I'm not waiting."
Val smiles at me, pride shining in his eyes.
"You're stubborn," he says fondly.
