Love Coming from the Least Expected

I was not sure if I should update Lyle that Christopher had gone missing. Seeing that I looked rather uneasy, he did not pursue the matter, but accelerated on the pedal and sped off. Shortly after, we arrived at a hotel, but I did not get off of the car. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, “Did you come here to find Christopher?”

He knew that he guessed it right when he noticed my lack of response and the surprised look on my face. “The police has been patrolling very often lately. Obviously, something massive is going on. It didn’t register with me because the safety in this place is always an issue. Now that I think about it, the constant monitoring of the police is most likely related to Christopher.”

There was no reason for me to hide from him since he had already connected the dots. Hence, I came clean with him about the purpose of my traveling here. “I’m here to look for Christopher. No matter what happens, I’ll stay by his side.”

He looked at me, flabbergasted. “Mind your own business, Lyle. I must search for Christopher, and I’ll never give up.” I went
