Alex didn't hear any sound from the bathroom or the kitchen, so he went to check, but Joanna was nowhere to be found.
Those were the only likely places he perceived her to be but since she wasn't, he checked the closet.
Joanna never liked it when she went it there because of the things kept there but at this time, Alex felt she could be anywhere including the places she didn't like.
His panic grew when he noticed that the white shirt he had washed and airdried for her was missing, frantically calling out, "Joanna, where are you?" He was met with deafening silence.
Leaving the cabin, he heard the sound of water splashing in the distance.
A mix of emotions flooded through him as he wondered if someone had intruded on their space.
