Save My Soul (32 page)

Josselyn fell into thought and
completely ignored the fact that his hands had slipped to her neck,
and his lips were slowly getting closer to her own. She backed away
from him. "You've seen it happen three times? Has anyone returned
to Heaven after going into Limbo?"

She left his loose embrace and began
to pace, but Malcolm only snapped his fingers and sat when a chair
appeared behind him. He rested his ankle on his left knee, and then
laced his fingers together behind his head, making himself
comfortable for what appeared to be a long while. There was no need
to interrupt her train of thought, or even answer any of her
questions. She wasn't ready to hear them yet. He snapped his
fingers again to place a chair in her path. She walked around it
without pausing or acknowledging its presence.

"There must be a way. Who made the
decision to send him there? We were the only two in the room." She
stopped pacing and looked at Malcolm, who only shrugged his broad
shoulders. "You don't know? You've been here a lot longer than I
have. Do you think you could help me out a little? If there's a way
to get him back I need to at least try, Malcolm."

"Why?"

Her eyes widened in disbelief at his
simple, yet ridiculous response. "Why?" she said,
aghast.

He nodded once and shrugged his
shoulders again. "Yeah, why do you want to bring him back? He's
obviously miserable, and there is nothing anyone can say to cheer
him up or help him get over Kendra not choosing him, not that she
had a choice, really. I know that. You know that. He knew that. I
heard they offered to give her to someone else, and he about
flipped his lid." His brow lifted in a question. "So, why do you
want him to come back here?" Without taking his eyes from her, he
snapped his fingers and the chair moved behind her legs.

She glanced at the wooden structure
and took a seat. "Thank you," she huffed.

The corner of his mouth turned up on
one side and he gave her a slight nod. "You're welcome."

She opened her mouth to speak, then
closed it. She tried twice more before she finally got the words
out. "What's in Limbo?"

A mischievous smirk spread across his
face. "How should I know?"

She could tell he was
hiding something. And she wasn't going to play games with him any
longer. Rhyan didn't deserve to be in some Limbo because he
couldn't help the way he felt about someone, and therefore control
his actions and words. She had to get him back.
She
needed him back.

Josselyn looked at his smirk a moment
longer, then, giving him one of her own, she stood and began to
walk away.

Malcolm chuckled, but remained in his
seat. "Where are you going?" When she kept walking and didn't
respond, he lost his smile, then stood and followed after her.
"C'mon, Jossel, I was only playing around with you. Really, what
are you going to do?"

"I'm going to visit Isaiah," she
said.

Malcolm froze in mid step, then closed
his eyes and shook his head as he groaned, "Ah, Hell."
