Sarah's POVI opened my mouth to answer."What evidence are you talking about?"Before another word could leave my lips, the sharp sound of a car horn echoed from outside the house.Both Anna and I instinctively turned toward the front door.My heart skipped a beat.Adrian."They're back," I murmured.I expected Anna to panic, or run, or even sneak out before they walked in.She did none of those things, instead, she smiled. As though she had been waiting for this exact moment."You should probably leave," I said, unable to hide the nervousness in my voice.Anna folded her arms across her chest. "No."I stared at her. "No?""I'm exactly where I want to be."Before I could say another word, the front door swung open. Adrian walked in first, his suit jacket hanging loosely over one arm.

Sarah's POVFor several long seconds, I simply stared at the glowing screen.The room was completely dark except for the faint light coming from my phone. Beside me, Adrian slept peacefully, his breathing slow and even, completely unaware of the message that had just appeared.My thumb hovered over the notification. I wanted to open it, but I also wanted to pretend it didn't exist.A strange feeling settled in my chest. What if it was Anna?The thought alone was enough to make my heart beat faster.I carefully slipped out of bed, making sure not to wake Adrian. My bare feet landed softly on the cold wooden floor as I quietly picked up my phone and tiptoed toward the balcony.The cool night air greeted me the moment I stepped outside.I wrapped my arms around myself before finally looking down at the screen again.Unknown Number.
