ELENA
After dinner, I met Julia in her room.
“May I borrow your tablet for a while?”
She stared at me, her brow lifted in surprise.
“I just want to check something,” I explained.
“Help yourself,” she responded, gesturing to the device on her desk.
I picked it up.
“Thanks, Julia. I'll bring it back, shortly.”
She searched my face and asked, “Are you okay?”
I nodded.
“Sure.”
Soon, I sat on my bed and, with trembling hands, slid Brad’s card into the device.
