Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 866

Nathalie lay there, staring up at the ceiling, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and panic. Was it possible she had feelings for Morris? And were these embarrassing dreams just her mind's way of dealing with her guilt over that? Not good news, considering Morris was already spoken for.

Across town, Lincoln was also tossing and turning that night. Ever since Morris entered their world, Lincoln's nerves had been on high alert.
