Tommy closes his eyes and focuses on centering his breathing. His heart actually slows down, quite a bit, and then he's pulling with his mind and that swell of force deep inside that he knows is magic. Pulling from himself, and he knows it's working because he can feel that tingle of right, of belonging that he always felt when he touched Billy while projecting himself to the other. But the question, of course, is whether he's managed to pull Billy with him.
