All of the words Helga had said about wanting to watch and hiding in the room started to get the best of Corina. Though she wanted to believe otherwise, she had a strange feeling that they weren't alone.
"Alex," Corina whispered.
"Yes, love?" Alexander questioned her as he carried her into the bedroom.
"Please put me down for a minute. I need to check something."
Alexander followed the instructions, but he felt perplexed. Corina seemed fully engaged in the moment just a moment ago. He looked down at her with a concerned expression. "Is everything okay?"
Corina placed her right index finger over her lips to indicate she wanted them to remain silent. With a look of determination, Corina dropped onto her knees to the floor and crawled halfway under the bed. Helga was not there.
"Please check the closet," Corina asked, her voice muffled due to the upper half of her body being engulfed underneath the bed.
