She stammered a little before saying, "The place he went to was remote and has poor cell signals..."

"He wouldn't let that stop him," Erin said, her eyes almost ablaze as she held Irene's gaze. ‘I hope you're not hiding anything from me, Irene."

Irene was afraid to look Erin in the eye just then-she could not do it while lying to those exceedingly sharp eyes.

"Why would I lie to you?” Irene said.

"But why did you bring me out here? To persuade me to go home?"

Irene quickly denied it. "Of course not. You just came, so of course I'd like you to stay a few more days... but you can't stay because of work, right?"

"I applied for an extended leave," Erin replied.
