"Maybe," Elena said. "If he's really there. If his consciousness is intact enough to respond. If the bonds are strong enough to sustain the connection." She paused. "But Lilith....this is experimental. I've never attempted spirit communication with someone who was consumed by a Veil entity. I don't know what will happen."
"We have to try," Lilith said immediately. "If there's even a chance Nicholas can speak to us....can tell us what happened, where he is, if he's okay, we have to try."
Victoria was looking at Lilith with complicated emotions written across her face. "Have Sebastian and Lucian felt this presence too?"
"I don't know," Lilith admitted. "Sebastian said he felt something during...." She stopped, feeling her face heat. "During intimacy. He said it felt like there were three of us connected for a moment. But I don't know if Lucian has felt anything."
