Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

With Cristoff in pursuit of Justin, knowing he took Tristana...

Justin had taken some time off from work at the hospital to tend to Tristana, whom he had managed to whisk away to a remote part of the country in an isolated cabin.

Justin was checking in on Tristana, who was sleeping peacefully. After checking her vitals, Justin left the room to make them something to eat, but before he could close the door, he heard Tristana softly whisper, "Please, don't go?"

"It's okay, I was just going to make us something to eat," Justin reassured her. "I thought you might be a little famished?"

"Now that you mention it..." Tristana began but trailed off.

"Okay, I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail," Justin told her before heading to the kitchen to rummage up a quick meal for them.

While Justin was gone, Tristana reached for her phone that was on the bedside table to check her messages. She saw one from Cristoff as Tristana shuddered, wondering if he knew where she was?

"Don't think you've gotten away from me!" Cristoff's message read. "You and Justin won't get away from me!"

When Justin brought in their meal, Tristana closed her phone, but Justin could see it in Tristana's face that she was scared.

After they ate the soup and sandwiches, well Justin ate the soup and sandwiches, Tristana merely picked at the meal, having lost her appetite after reading Cristoff's message.

"It's Cristoff, isn't it?" Justin said. "What did he say?"

"He said that we wouldn't get away with what we did." Tristana began. "That he would find me!"

'Don't worry, Cristoff won't find us." Justin reassured her. "Nobody knows about this place. Not even my family or closest friends know about this place."
