“Are you alright?” Jeffrey strode over, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.

Rebecca was picking out a jacket she liked, looking puzzled. “Huh?”

“Stanley said Miles followed you here,” Jeffrey explained, hoping she wouldn’t misunderstand. “I’m afraid he might try something that could put you in danger.”

Rebecca blinked at him, clearly unsure what he meant.

‘Didn’t Miles leave already?‘ Rebecca thought, still confused.

Just as Rebecca was about to speak, the door to the hallway suddenly slammed shut, making her pause mid-

sentence.

Bang! Rebecca flinched at the noise.*

The bang echoed through the room.*

Furrowing his brow, Jeffrey walked over and tried the doorknob.*

Rebecca caught a quick glimpse outside and said, “That was Barry who closed the door.“*

Jeffrey froze with his hand on the doorknob, emotion flickering in his eyes as he glanced at Rebecca.

He wanted to explain himself, but hesitated, wondering if she’d actually believe him.

He couldn’t tell if Rebecca would trust what he said.

“I know you’re not behind this,” Rebecca said, confident that Jeffrey wasn’t the type for petty schemes. “They’re probably trying to play matchmaker and cooked up some plan to get us talking again.”

“So, would you be willing to give us another shot?” Jeffrey asked, seizing the moment.

Rebecca didn’t even hesitate. “No.”

Jeffrey kept his eyes on her. “Not even a little?”

Rebecca replied, “Not even a little.”

Jeffrey had expected her answer all along, but hearing it from her lips still made his feelings a tangled mess.

Under the glow of the room’s lights, Rebecca calmly picked out a jacket nearly identical in color to the last one and slipped it on, her mood perfectly steady. She said coolly, “Call them so they open the door. If we’re stuck in here much longer, Samuel’s going to get anxious.”

Jeffrey nodded.

But when he took out his phone, there was no signal.
