I watched as Darryl drove off. Thank goodness he had something he needed to take care of and couldn't see me back all the way up the mountain.
As his car faded off into the distance, I rummaged through my pocket. I gazed down at the pendant meant to be Aries' half of the pair and frowned at it.
No, no. He probably misplaced it or had it slip out of his pocket. It wouldn't make sense to gift me it's other half if that was the case...
I squeezed the pendant firmly, returning it to my pocket as my fingers brushed past the memo Artemis had jotted down her ideas on where Aries could have possibly been. I pulled it out, sitting myself at the base of the tree nearby as I read through the list.
"What... I've been to all these places..." I sighed, feeling whatever sense of hope fly out the window.
No! I can't give up like this! Doesn't he somehow, in some way or another, always manage to find me? No matter what?
