Page 41 of Oracle Returns: Time will Stop

Beckett nodded.

“In the static. When I went under last time, and I was dying, I heard her. I heard that voice, and she stayed with me until Lucian and Ridge could find me.”

Oh, well, that just made the whole family like Avalon a whole lot more because Beckett had nearly died in the static, trapped there.

Avalon moved toward him.

When she took off her sunglasses, she revealed her eyes to the man.

They were blank, white, and they were clouded over.

He wasn’t the only one to see them. In fact, it caught Julian off guard. He knew she was blind, but that was eerie.

So, he tried not to react.

With Nate beside her, touching her back, she focused on Beckett.

“I’m glad you’re safe. I’m happy that I was able to hold onto your soul so he couldn’t take it from you.”

Beckett moved closer to her.

“When it was killing me, I heard you talking to me, telling me I would be okay. I know I heard your voice. I know I wasn’t losing my mind.”

Oh, he wasn’t.

She nodded.

“I was with you. I could hear you screaming in the static and fighting to get back to your wife.”

Emotions overwhelmed him.

He hugged her.

Beckett hugged her tightly and couldn’t explain how desperately lost he’d been, and how much she made him feel like it was going to be okay.

“Thank you. You told me you’d get me back to my wife, and child.”

Gently, she patted his back to soothe him.

“I’m glad I could make that promise to you. I’m sorry about your gift being gone. I can’t tell if it’s going to return or not. I’m leaning toward no.”

At her words, he set her free.

“Don’t worry about it. Really, I’m not that heartbroken over it. My psychic ability is a nightmare on a good day. As long as I still have my PI job, I’m good.”

Oh, she understood that.

From nearby, Julian stopped that nonsense then and there. Beckett had nothing to worry about.

“You married our sister. You’re our brother,” he stated. “You’re not losing your job because you’re not psychic now. You’re a damn good PI, Beck. That’s your true gift.”

He hugged his brother-in-law next.

“Thanks, Julian.”

Only, now, Julian was curious, and he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t worried about the man’s health. He’d come out with his nose and ears bleeding.

“What did they say?”
