How long has it been, an hour? Maybe an hour and a half? He might not even be asleep yet. I\u2019m sure he has a lot of thoughts buzzing, too. Does he maybe like me, like me? Don\u2019t be stupid, you\u2019re an unseen specter, literally haunting him. You\u2019re not Rebecca. The kitchen cabinets are almost empty. There\u2019s a stack of paper plates in one, and three mismatched coffee mugs in another.<\/p>\n

One says, \u201cWorld\u2019s Greatest Dad.\u201d Another displays the logo for the trucking company he works for. The third is pink, with a gold rim and white polka dots. My heart clenches, and I touch all three with trembling fingers. Another cabinet has two flashlights, a portable radio, and batteries of every voltage.<\/p>\n

I start to carefully close the cabinet again (this one squeaks), but then grin, remove the radio, and place it on the counter by our whiteboard. There\u2019s no television to watch, and I worry about turning one on, anyway. I have a feeling that Buddy would notice. He notices me. I can\u2019t help but grin at the thought. I rock back and forth in the weird little space between the kitchen and living room that I suppose it meant to house a small table.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so full of energy, I can\u2019t just gaze out a window and watch the day go by like I sometimes find myself doing. I can\u2019t even\u2014 Buddy\u2019s bedroom door opens, and he appears. \u201cHello?\u201d he calls softly. \u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep.\u201d I can\u2019t wipe the stupid smile off my face as I turn on the radio to static, and Buddy grins right back in my general direction IT\u2019S SEVEN THIRTY-SEVEN in the morning when Buddy\u2019s phone rings for the first time.<\/p>\n

We had just decided to go get some breakfast somewhere (\u201cI don\u2019t keep any food in the house,\u201d Buddy admitted sheepishly), and trill of the phone sounds from his bedroom. We both stop dead in our tracks, me more than him I guess, and gaze down the short hall. It\u2019s like a literal wake up call.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t just hang out and play house, August Waters is looking for us. Addie is waiting. I need to get Buddy to go home, and I haven\u2019t even asked him yet. How did I forget to ask him to go home last night? \u201cI guess I\u2019ll get that.\u201d He sighs, as it rings again. I don\u2019t follow him into his room, he deserves his privacy, but I hear him murmur an answer, and then I hear that murmur raise into a panic.<\/p>\n

I rush forward, forgetting the privacy. Buddy is charging out, and his face is both angry and frightened. \u201cI\u2019ll be there as soon as I can.<\/p>\n

-E.M. Lund, author of The Urbex Trip \u201cLovers\u2019 Leap gets its hooks in you from word one and doesn\u2019t let up.\u201d -Jo Kaplan, author of It Will Just Be Us \u201cLovers\u2019 Leap hooked me from the very first page. I was more invested in these characters from the prologue than I have been after reading entire books. Goodwin’s descriptions are vivid enough to make your insides clench, and I found it genuinely creepy throughout.<\/p>\n

I finished reading in the small hours, and I regretted it when I finally turned out the light.\u201d -Laura Livingstone, author of The Boy With the Heart of Sea Glass \u201cCreepy and engrossing in equal measure.
