My back arched and then nothing.

Declan didn't move. Not one inch. No sound, no reaction, nothing. It was like pressing yourself against a wall.

That was weird. That was really weird. Declan was many things but unresponsive was never one of them, and something about the quality of the silence behind me felt genuinely off.

I turned over to see what was wrong and my heart stopped.
