TMUW 61: Cemetery

Evening came, and Lucas was no longer by my side. He wasn't in the condo, and I had no idea where he had gone. Perhaps he was with Iris, as he had been spending his time with here ever since we returned from the island.

I picked up my cell phone from the nightstand and checked it. There was no message from Mommy, and I was about to send them my goodbyes when I saw a recent text from Daddy.

"Don't tell Aurora about it. She's already having a hard time, Lucas."

I was slightly confused by the message, and as I contemplated its meaning, my cell phone suddenly rang. I sighed and answered it after seeing Haze's name on the screen.

"Haze," I said as I picked up the call.

I tilted my head in surprise as I heard what sounded like Haze crying on the other end of the line.

"Hello, Haze? Are you there?" I asked.

"Aurora," she called my name.

I intentionally didn't respond and waited for him to speak, but he remained silent.

"Haze?" I called out to him once again.

"Can you come with me?"
