Chapter TwoI barely slept that night Every time I closed my eyes I saw the photograph in Daniel’s hands.

I stared at the photograph until the faces began to blur Daniel was standing outside a hospital entrance with one hand resting on Claire’s shoulder She looked pale and tired but she was alive Her hair was tied behind her head and she was wearing the same necklace I had seen in the earlier photograph Two days after she disappeared I slowly lowered my phone Explain this Daniel didn’t answer immediately Daniel I said explain this He rubbed his forehead and looked towards the window I was at that hospital because someone called me Who I don’t know The person refused to give me a name They told me Claire was there and that I needed to come immediately I looked at the photograph again And you found her Yes My heart began beating faster Then why did you tell everyone she was missing Because when I arrived she was already gone I frowned What do you mean gone You are standing beside her in this picture Daniel took a deep breath I arrived at the hospital that afternoon A nurse told me Claire ha
