He sat with her for a while before taking care of things, packing the peeled sweet potatoes into a storage container and placing them in the freezer. He then cleaned the flour off the table.

More than half of the whiskey bottle had been emptied. Even if Emelie could handle her liquor, she was likely tipsy by now. Where could she have wandered off to?

He immediately searched the first floor and yelled her name, "Emelie... Emelie!"

There was no response. He then called Jodie.

"Did something happen to her?" she asked.

"She's drunk, and she might have gone out." Lyle noticed the usually neatly arranged shoes by the door were now scattered.
