Chapter 119

119–Focus and flow

I sleep late and wake up alone. The growling of my stomach when I wake up tells me that I have slept in for at least a couple hours. I check the bedside table and sure enough, there’s a handwritten note from Bellamy.

Good morning,

I didn’t mean to keep you up so late last night. I hope you’re sleeping peacefully, you need. the rest. I’ll call and wake you if you up by eleven since you have plans for lunch. So if

I’m heading out this morning with Alex to meet with some of the local Shifters that knew the Brooks family. It might not lead to anything and there are plenty of non–Shifters we should talk to as well, but at least if we start with the Shifters I can be sure that they are telling us the truth and it might give us a bit of a general background for the family.

I plan to be back by late afternoon.

Good luck talking to your Oracle friend and call me if you need or want anything.

It’s nice waking up knowing that Bellamy was thinking about me, even if I was asleep. I weirdly adore Bellamy’s little letters, I sort of want to start keeping them. Is that weird? I don’t know. Either way, I slip it into the bottom of the drawer that I’m using to keep my underwear. I make sure it’s completely tucked away and out of sight. I check the time and find it’s ten forty five. Fifteen more minutes and Bellamy would have called to wake me up anyway. I send him a quick text.

Ryann- Good morning, I just woke up. Thanks for letting me sleep and for helping with investigating the Brooks family. I’m sure you have more important things you should be

doing with your day.

Bellamy- Morning gorgeous. Don’t be silly. This is important to you so it’s important to me. Besides, a missing child is always urgent. For bonus importance, this could be linked to
