Three weeks! Actually, slightly less than that until the release date for Awake: A Fairytale!   Sometimes excitement and fear feel the same.  Like in that moment right before the roller coaster takes off and you are strapped in and committed with no real way to get out.

Quite honestly, Alex hadn’t expected to see Luke anywhere after graduation, except maybe in the occasional news report about minor league baseball and eventually the majors.  Rumor had it he’d already signed a...
