My phone rings and I quickly reach for it since it’s on the coffee table in front of me. It’s Silas. Did he find out about what happened to his sister and mine because of me?

I have the money. I got it from the bank thirty minutes ago and I’m waiting for a call from Everest to know what to do next. But I can’t ignore Silas’s call. He is used to calling me before the game and I’m not going to break that habit. Especially when I don’t know what’s going to happen to me in a matter of hours.

“Hey cupcake,” he says the moment I hit the green button, which means that he hasn’t found out anything yet because he sounds so cheerful. He wouldn’t call me cupcake if he was aware of what has been going on.

“Hi baby.” I try to sound cheerful because I don’t want him to feel that something is wrong.

“The game is about to start, and I just want to check on you before it starts. Also, I wanted to talk to my lucky charm too to wish me good luck.” I don’t know why but a tear slides down my cheek at his words.

Maybe it’s because I’m scared or simply because I don’t know if I’m going to see him ever again after today or not.

“Good luck, icing. I’m sure you’re going to be amazing,” I tell him, hoping he can’t tell that something is wrong with my

voice.

“Rosie, are you okay? You sound different.” Concern takes over his tone.

“I’m okay.” I quickly lie. “I was just watching The Vow, and you know how much I cry whenever I watch this movie.”

“I’m married to a hopeless romantic.” He chuckles, and I smile through the tears.
