What was happening?
Everything around Eric was engulfed in darkness, visibility reduced to nil
Eric’s gaze snapped towards Hadley’s apartment, noting the complete blackness that enveloped her chem living space as well.
He pondered whether Hadley might be frightened, considering she was alone.

He ascended the stairs rapidly, two or three at a time, until he reached the fifth floor in no time.

She hurried to the door. “Who’s there?”
“It’s me!”
As the door opened, Eric’s gaze found hers in the dim light. “Do you often have visitors? Other than that grocery store guy I saw last time, who else comes around often?”
Hadley, still a bit bewildered, shook her head. “Nobody else.”
Eric let out a soft chuckle.

“This neighborhood is really run–down…” Eric grumbled.
Visibly annoyed, he then questioned, “Why do you have to stay in such a place?”
Hadley chose not to respond directly to his criticism. Shifting the focus, she asked, “Did you need something by
