The next day, Jasmine was in the astronomy room reading through Xaden's mother's journals and the new book she had found.
From what she could read, his mother and her uncle had begun very close and inseparable.
In some notes, she discussed their progress on what they had learned about the other side.
She also detailed how the map was written in the stars and was yet to be deciphered.
Jasmine went around using compasses and bearings on how to draw the map, the exact same way his mother did.
But she just couldn't.
Just like Xaden's mother had been stuck at a particular point between the stars, she too was.
Jasmine sighed in frustration.
She had become so fascinated with the other side and astronomy.
It was also the only thing she could do to keep her mind from Xaden.
She shook her head when he sprang up to her mind again.
No, she was not going to think of him.
She was just overreacting, and she was most certain that he was safe and sound.
