Enzo didn’t answer me at first; he only looked beyond the area and at the many police cars that were parked in the lot, along with the ambulance.

“Yes; a student,” he finally answered, audibly swallowing.

“Who?” I'wasn’t sure I wanted to know the answer, but the knot in my stomach wasn’t going to leave this alone.

“I'm not sure,” he said shaking his head. “I should have reported it sooner.” “You knew about it?” I asked, furrowing my brows together.

I stepped out of his strong embrace and peered up at him.

“I smelled something off earlier,” he admitted, meeting my eyes. “It smelled like rotting flesh; it was disgusting. Made me nearly throw up.
