"Well yeah, but it doesn't always work that way," Luke said gently. "I took a risk, and it worked out well for me. For the most part. But it doesn't always end like that."
Luke was just about to stroke Josie's hair again when her sudden outburst made him jump a little, causing him to almost knock Josie off the bed from the field that emenated from him, then quickly dissipated. He wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her steady. Ugh. He had to stop doing that. He was so focused on what had just happened that he wasn't sure whether the fact that he had no idea what Josie was talking about had to do with Josie's not telling him or his own failure to pay attention.
