woman who didn’t exist in their world.
    “What the—” Tanner started but never finished and Nica knew the spell had taken hold.
    Tears welled as Tanner’s then Jensen’s eyes lost focus. They stared into space as the spell reordered their memories, remade their image of her. They’d remember her tomorrow as a redhead, her features completely different. They’d think she’d left the bar with them but that they’d parted at the curb. She’d gone home, they’d gone home and no one had had mind-blowing sex.
    They wouldn’t remember her or the way they’d loved her. She’d become a ghost. Hell, she wouldn’t even be a memory. She’d be nothing.
    Not fair. So not fair.
    Pulling her phone out of her pocket, she took a deep breath then dialed a number she’d committed to heart but hadn’t needed to use. Until now.
    After a brief conversation, she hung up and watched the best night of her life disappear before her eyes.

Chapter Three
     
    Jensen woke up on the couch in the living room, his head pounding.
    How the hell much did he drink last night?
    He looked around and saw Tanner asleep on the recliner in the corner.
    Damn, what the hell had they done?
    Rubbing a hand over his face, he sat up, running his fingers through his hair and unbuttoning his shirt. He paused when he realized he was missing a button.
    When had he lost that?
    He remembered going to the bar last night, remembered he and Tanner talking to a woman, a redhead. Which was unusual because neither of them typically went for redheads.
    They’d walked out of the bar together but they’d parted company at the curb and he and Tanner had come home alone.
    Or had she come home with them?
    No, if she’d come home, they wouldn’t be sleeping here.
    Goddamn, he knew he hadn’t drunk that much.
    He tossed a throw pillow at Tanner, who barely moved when it hit him.
    “Tanner, wake the hell up.”
    “Fuck off, Jen.” Tanner didn’t even open his eyes, just grabbed the pillow and stuffed it under his head. “I’m sleeping.”
    “Tanner, come on. What’d we do last night?”
    Bits and pieces of memories floated through his head but it didn’t seem to make any sense. Like disjointed pieces of a picture that didn’t quite add up to a whole.
    And he remembered having the weirdest fucking dream…about a woman who’d vanished in midair. From right there. In the middle of the living room.
    She needs help. You shouldn’t have let her go.
    “Tanner, get the hell up. Something happened. Something’s…wrong.”
    But what? Why the hell did he think something was wrong?
    Tanner opened his eyes enough to squint at him. “What are you…” He shook his head and sat up, his expression evolving from sleepy disorientation to confusion. Looking down at his clothes then around at the room, he finally lifted his gaze back to Jensen’s.
    “We went to that bar last night, the one Daniel told us about,” Tanner said. “We talked to a woman, a redhead. Then we came home. Alone.”
    Jensen shook his head. “Yeah, that’s what I remember too. But…I had a weird dream last night. About a woman who—”
    “Disappeared right there.” Tanner pointed at the middle of the room. “I had the same dream.”
    “We haven’t done that since we were kids.”
    Tanner nodded, his expression tightening. “What’d she look like?”
    “Dark hair, dark eyes. Pretty. Quiet.”
    “Serene.”
    Yeah, that was the perfect word. “Who was she?”
    “I don’t have a fucking clue,” Tanner practically growled. “But she’s in trouble.”
    “I know. How do we know that?”
    “Again, I have no clue. I just… Jesus, this is like an episode of Supernatural .”
    Jensen didn’t laugh at the joke like he normally did. Whenever something vaguely weird happened, whether a light bulb blew or their keys turned up somewhere they didn’t belong, Tanner would make some crack about the TV show with two brothers who fought supernatural villains. That Jensen’s name was the same
