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.'
