Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Sherilyn was in a state of panic and without giving it much thought, she dialed Francis.

"Fran! Rebecca's gone missing! The hospital said she was picked up by a family member, but who could that be? I tried calling her just now, and her phone is off..."

As she finished speaking, she calmed down a bit and immediately felt a twinge of regret.

She realized how abrupt it was to call Francis like this, especially since he and Rebecca weren't really connected.

"Sorry, Fran, I just panicked..."

For reasons unknown to her, she instinctively sought his help first.

"No worries."

On the other end, Francis listened quietly, "Don't stress. Here's what we'll do, I'll have Sawyer look into it."

Sherilyn felt a lump in her throat, "Thank you, Fran."

"Why act so formal?" Francis spoke softly, "We're family, aren't we? Don't talk like we're strangers. Just wait for my update."

"Alright, thanks."

After hanging up, Sherilyn felt helpless and with a heavy heart, she returned to the dance company. Throughout the day, her thoughts were consumed with worries about Rebecca.

Having faced loneliness and despair herself, Sherilyn felt a deep sense of compassion towards Rebecca.
