SLOW

Nothing happened for a while. Well, stuff happened but I chose to ignore everything, to think. Detective Reeves was back, and I had no idea why. Having him around made me uneasy.

Lloyd.

I had nearly forgotten about him.

After calling him for help that day, I did not respond to his messages. I was not ghosting him, far from that actually. I was sort of protecting him. Yeah, it sounds weird, but something was completely off.

He texted me every day for two weeks at 8 PM. His messages were read but never replied to.

'Are you okay?'

'Mila, talk to me!'

'Wait, did they kidnap you? Scratch that, I can see you are home now.'

'Please answer me.'

'Are you ghosting me?'

'You know I can see you reading my texts. Reply, will you?'

'I cannot help you if you do not talk to me.'
