Deacon sits on the bed, leaning against the headboard and he pays the space between his legs for me to sit there. I move to where he indicates and he gently pulls me against him so my back is resting on his chest. He takes both my hands in his and rests them on myp.


    "Close your eyes and rx," he says softly. "Match your breathing with mine and focus on the tether to your bonds, forget everything but them.” I do as he says. Smiling when I feel them stronger than ever. It''s almost as if i could reach out and touch them.


    "Please let this work, you have no idea how much I need to hear you," I hear Luke''s desperate plea and I want to cry with happiness at the sound of his voice.


    "Luke, I hear you," I tell him excitedly.


    "Josie, oh god, Josic, I can''t believe it worked. I miss you so much. Are you okay?" he responds.


    "I miss you too. I can''t wait to see you. I''m okay but I''ll be better when I''m back home with you,"


    "When are youing? We need you here. We are falling apart without you," he admits and it hurts my heart to think of my bond group as anything but strong.


    "I''m not sure, Deacon says there is a problem with porting through. He almost didn''t make it. We need Mason to guide us to fix it from this side but I don''t understand any of it,"


    Porting between the realms isplicated. I''ve no idea how you did it by ident. Let''s focus on strengthening this connection so we canmunicate and Mason can teach us all how to manipte it,"


    "Okay, I''m not sure how this works exactly. Let me ask June," Luke says, he goes quiet for a moment before his voice startles me. "June said open yourself up to the person you want to connect with. Drop any barriers you have up and reach out to them,"


    "Got it," I reiterate the information to Deacon.


    "Whilst I have you alone I wanted to tell you something. I should have said it sooner. I wanted to find the perfect moment but I''ve regretted waiting for thest four weeks. I love you, Josie, so damn much," he says and I feel his love as I hear the words. I suck in a breath.


    "I love you, Luke, and I''m going to say that to your face as soon as I can," I tell him and send him my love through


    our bond.


    "I''m sorry I''m not there. I wasing for you but Deacon was fighting me on it, Theo ended up flipping a coin and I lost," I feel his disappointment.


    "It''s okay, I think it was supposed to happen this way. I needed to bond with D toplete our connection andmunicate with you all,"


    "Theo is desperate to talk with you, you should focus on him first," he says and I agree. I think of Theo, of his bright shining eyes. Of his smile that lights up a room and how I feel when I''m with him.


    "Come on, Baby Girl, you can do it, you can do anything," I hear Theo..


    "You''re damn right I can," I say as a tear rolls down my face at the sound of his voice.


    "Fuck, Jose. I fucking love you, you absolute beauty. How did I get so lucky to have the most badass bond?"


    "I love you too, and I''m the lucky one. I miss you,


    "I miss you so damn much! You are amazing! Can you believe this is happening right now?" heughs.

    "It''s kind of insane but I''m so happy,"


    "Me too," he responds.


    "And me," Luke says.

    "Okay, now to get Mason in, tell him I''ming for him,"


    warn. I try for a few minutes with no sess. "Why


    is it not working?" 1 ask.


    "Let me talk to him," Theo says.


    "Can you try to bring Deacon in, I need him to exin the issue with porting," Luke asks.


    uves, rive me a moment to


    "I''m already here, I was just giving you some time with then," Deacon cuts me off and kisses my shoulder. It''s strange to hear him in my head when he''s right behind me


    "Try Mace again, he''s dropped his shields," Theo says. I focus on Mason and his voice joins the party in my head quickly.


    "This is so strange," Iugh. "Let me try Axel,"


    "I think that''s something you should do aler, he might get overwhelmed with


    us all here," Luke suggests and sadness settles over me.


    "Okay, I''ll reach out to him once we are done here," I agree


    "Now we are all here, Deacon can you exin the issue with porting and how we can fix it?" Luke asks and we all wait nervously for his exination.
