Amanda was looking at her calendar, already going crazy. It has been three days since Christopher returned to his home. Yet, she felt like it was forever.
She had come to realize there was no way she could wait for more than a week. She had to do something. The fact that she could not communicate with him made it even worse.
The next day, she excused herself from work, telling Andrew she was not feeling well. However, instead of resting at home, she went around town looking for a secret spring.
She naturally started at those she knew about, but realized they were frequently visited. Still, she went around touching and feeling every surface and even under the water. She did not feel anything to suggest there was an entrance to another world.
