THORNE
My skin crawled with unease. Everything felt off, like a song just slightly out of tune, my world disrupted by the lack of... something. No. Not something.
Someone.
My return to Ravenscroft was met with little fanfare. Not that I’d expected any. After dropping off my luggage in my room, I immediately set out in search of the one person I wanted to see more than anything. My Sunday.
This time of night, there was only one place she’d be, so I followed her scent deep into the part of the forest she preferred to use for her midnight runs. The time away had dulled my connection to her, raising a barrier between my thoughts and hers. Necessary, but that didn’t mean I had to like it.
