I end up sleeping the entire afternoon away and when I wake up the sun has already gone down so naturally, Yanis is gone too.
I roll off the unfamiliar bed, beelining to the bathroom, there's no doubt about it, I'm taking a shower. I get the craving to wear Virgil's shirt but I suck it up and wear a random top and sweatpants.
I'm not particularly hungry but I'm peckish so I find my way to the kitchen to get a fruit, preferably an apple. I hear a faint and familiar voice from a room that I'd passed by so naturally I take a couple steps back.
"How can you not see it?" Virgil's voice says in frustration. "Shit! Why the fuck am I doing this again?"
"You're getting it all wrong V, Nicole isn't like that, she nearly hurt herself when Jade went missing and it got even worse when she was found dead." Dale says, totally believing his words.
"You're just letting her manipulate the guilt you feel."
