Chapter 65 An Overwhelming Urge To Ki…
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.
Deciding not to wait, Eric activated the flashlight on his phone and advanced.
He ascended the stairs rapidly, two or three at a time, until he reached the fifth floor in no time.
Inside, Hadley was searching through a drawer for candles with the help of her phone’s light
The sound of knocking made her pause, slightly startled.
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.
He strode in, his long strides taking him directly to the sofa where he sat down. “So, what’s the situation here?
Hadley said, “The power’s gone out.”
“A blackout?” Eric was taken aback. “Here?”
“Can you believe Srixby still experiences blackouts?” Eric muttered internally.
“That’s just how things are,” Hadley said. “This part of town is quite old. The electrical infrastructure is outdated, leading to frequent repairs and disruptions.”
For Eric, who was raised in a more affluent area, such realities were beyond his usual experiences.
“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
