The Seconds Are Ticking
"And why does Aaron think the serum works?" Cadence clarified.

"What else did he say?" she asked, fighting back anger at his deception.

All-in-all, it had taken her significantly longer to make the trip, which included getting through customs and a layover in New York City.

As much as her friends didn't want Cadence to cut them off again, they seemed to understand, and she said her goodbyes. She leaned over and felt Aaron’s forehead. He still felt warm, but not as clammy. His breathing seemed fairly shallow, however, which concerned her. She kissed his forehead, and he stirred just a little bit. "Aaron?" she whispered into his ear. She got no response, however, and she scooted back into the chair, left in her own solitary thoughts with only the sounds of the insects outside to keep her company.Eventually, their cries brought her outside.

"Aaron?" she whispered.She shot up to a sitting position, and realized he'd been cradling her head on his lap and stroking her hair. She looked at him skeptically, glancing back at the house, confused. "How are you... here?" she asked cautiously.

"Cadence! We're so happy to see you!" Liz Findley exclaimed, welcoming her daughter into her home and embrace. "How are you sweetheart?" She planted a kiss on her cheek before taking a step back to survey her oldest daughter, and then pulling her back into her arms."I'm okay, Mom," Cadence assured her. She waited for her dad to complete his handshake greeting to Aaron before enveloping him in a tight hug. "I missed you, Dad," she whispered, kissing him on the cheek.
