Talking To Mark
Mark entered the room with a relaxed ease I envied, greeting me with a chuckle and a, “Long time no see.” Without hesitation, I laid out everything that had been happening with Evan and asked if he’d noticed anything unusual. He listened carefully, his brow furrowed, before admitting he hadn’t spoken to Evan much recently. Though my heart sank a little, his readiness to help investigate gave me a much-needed glimmer of hope amid the uncertainty.

Though we’d lost touch, Mark was eager to dive into the mystery with me. “Let’s see what we can find,” he said with determination. His confidence sparked a flicker of hope inside me—maybe, together, we could unravel this strange puzzle. We agreed to proceed quietly, careful not to tip Evan off about our investigation. Having Mark by my side made facing whatever was haunting Evan feel a little less overwhelming.
