Valdis took several deep breaths, long and slow to relieve her racing heart, ignoring the pain in her chest until it began to fade. Raine's words and presence were reassuring, but her eyes flicked to meet Jacob's when he spoke. If he remembered switching places, then he had to remember what they had seen, which meant that it hadn't simply been a nightmare.
"It is." She croaked, pausing and lifting a hand to touch her throat, less certain now that she hadn't actually screamed, but her mind had always been a strange place, "I never should have tried this. I should have known that the life of an immortal...would intrigue the Void too much."
How could she tell him that she had seen those things when he didn't seem to remember her being there?
"I...don't even know what we saw on my side."
Except she did and the lie was probably perfectly evident.
