Our hands met with fingers interwoven like a ball of yarn. It wasn't like intimate or anything, more like a power struggle. I felt a warm surge of energy coursing through my veins.

Geoffrey, on the other hand, seemed addicted. Maybe he was being a bit over-dramatic, laughing like a maniac as he too felt this surge of energy - wait, Geoffrey? Were my memories coming back to me?
