Chapter 80

I watched in despair as Maya left the dining room. In a way, I felt this heaviness in my chest. Since last night, she's been acting this way. I thought she just had a long day last night but today wasn't any different either. I was worried, deeply worried. And I couldn't help but entertain several scary thoughts. I wondered if Emily had done something or perhaps my Family. Thinking about it alone drowned me further in confusion. I heaved a heavy sigh. I was hoping to spend the night with her and explain my actions today. And then, maybe we could gobble some ice cream or play some games or watch a movie. But all those plans were cancelled now. 

"Lila!" I called and after some minutes, She sauntered into the dining room. 

"What can I do for you, Mr. Desmond?" She asked but I beckoned her to take a seat. "You don't look too good Sir."
