I walked barefoot through
the garden, stopping to notice a spiral design someone had made on the ground
from river rocks. I bent to peer at it, and when I stood, Giovanni’s hand was
pressed to my back over the knife marking. My silk robe had slid down, exposing
my marking. His voice burned with soft intensity. “So, you got this from the
knife that night?”
I didn’t turn around. “Yes.”
His hand radiated a sweeping
current over the spot where I’d been marked.
“I hate that the memory is
written on my body.”
He leaned in. “I’m sorry
this happens to you. Il tuo dolore è il mio dolore...” he whispered in Italian.
“Your pain is my pain.”
Suddenly, I felt the soft
brush of his curls on the nape of my neck. My breath caught and bumps flared on
my arms as he bent and tenderly kissed the marking of the gruesome knife in the
middle of my back. Unbidden fissures of pleasure spread from my back and
radiated out, but still I didn’t turn around. I couldn’t. Doing so would have
been a betrayal to my still-grieving heart, because it wanted nothing more than
to turn and see Finn standing there.
That could never be. That
could never be.
My body remembered what it
was like to kiss Giovanni, to feel the weight of him on top of me and the
electric pulse of our energy together. I pushed that memory away. My head
needed to have supreme rule over the rest of me.
The pressure of Giovanni’s
lips on my skin lightened and I felt his energy recede. When I looked over my
shoulder, I knew he’d be walking away from me. Sure enough, a trail of silver
wound through the trees behind him. Surprising though, was the dark,
tarnished-silver color of pain in the middle of his aura at his back.
He’d been sincere. My pain was
his pain.

About the Author
Tracy Clark is a young-adult writer because she believes
teens deserve to know how much they matter and that regardless of what they’re
going through, they aren’t alone. In other words, she writes books for her teen
self.
She grew up a “Valley Girl” in Southern California but now
lives in her home state of Nevada, in a small town at the base of the Sierra
Foothills. Her two children teach her the art of distraction and are a
continuous source of great dialogue. She’s an unapologetic dog person who is
currently owned by a cat.
Tracy was the recipient of the Society of Children’s Book Writers
and Illustrators (SCBWI) Work in Progress Grant. A two-time participant in the
prestigious Nevada SCBWI Mentor Program where she was lucky enough to be
mentored by bestselling author, Ellen Hopkins, who taught her so much about the
art of writing and cured her of her ellipsis addiction.
Her debut novel was inspired by her enchantment with metaphysics as a teen, seeing it as the real magic in life. Tracy is a part-time college student, a private pilot, and an irredeemable dreamer.
