“Mitchel, who's really pushing it here? Why not go comfort your damsel in
distress who fell down the stairs? It takes two to tango, you know. I never asked
you to stay.”
“So you've been biting your tongue to seek justice for Henley, right?”
Mitchel sneered.
“Think what you want. I don't care,” Raegan retorted without offering any
explanation.
Livid, blue veins stood out on his temples, and Mitchel stared at her with his
bloodshot eyes.
Just then, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and found it was Lauren
calling again.
Annoyed as hell, he took the call right in front of Raegan.

“What's up, Lauren?”
Lauren's voice, which was choked with sobs, came through. She complained
about feeling terrible and begged him to come see her.
As he talked on the phone, Mitchel's eyes met Raegan’s. Her indifference stung
him more than he would like to admit.
He ended the call and, without a word, turned and walked away.
As his car sped off, the phone he had intended to give Raegan slipped from his
pocket. In a fit of anger, Mitchel rolled down the window and chucked the phone
into the river.
Why should he give the phone to her? So she could use it to call another man?
Once Mitchel had left, Raegan felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. She
rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning the floor.
Then, she took the quilt out to the balcony to air out its musty smell.
The moment the house hit the market, Raegan rented it for three years and
hoped to save money to buy it back.
Because of this, the interiors had not changed a bit from when she and her
grandmother Lived here.
Although the place had seen better days, it felt warm and familiar.
About an hour or so, Raegan cooked noodles for dinner. After eating, she lay on
her bed and stared at the ceiling for what felt Like forever. She mentally kicked
herself for forgetting to buy a new phone.
Living without a phone felt like living without an arm.
As she began to drift off, the lights suddenly cut out.
Raegan jumped. Thinking it was just a general power outage, she groped around
for her flashlight.
Once she found it, she peered out of her window and saw lights twinkling in the
distance. From the looks of it, her house was the only one that had a power
failure.
Just then, she heard a rustling sound coming from outside.
