Gaia Awakened
Page 17
“The portal won’t stay open for much longer,” Aidan says to me. He’s wearing his leather jacket and carrying two bags filled with our clothes and belongings. “Rowan says hi, by the way.”
“By that you mean he asked if I was still a terrible human,” I say, making a face. “At least he agreed to help us.”
His green eyes suddenly pierce into mine. “You know we’ll find a way to break the spell, right? We’ll have access to more hellfrost in the Winter Realm, and there are magical entities who might be willing to work against Jasper.”
“I know,” I say, smiling up at him.
Aidan reaches out a hand and I clasp it tightly. We turn to face the shimmering portal, preparing to step through at the same time. But even if I have to spend the next three months in the Winter Realm, I know beyond a doubt we’ll make it through this together. Because that’s what Aidan and I do, isn’t it?
We love each other.
We fight for each other.
We save each other.
“Are you ready for winter?” I ask Aidan, right before we leave Earth.
He grins at me. “Let it snow.”
