Ariana pondered as she cleaned up the room. While tidying the bed, she noticed that the corner of the
calendar on Theodore’s bedside table had been flipped.

back to find the 10th of the following month circled.
Ariana frowned at the circled date, puzzled.

link between the two.

However, after an extended wait, all she heard was the electronic hum of the ongoing call.

“Where did you get this from?”
Upon seeing the message from Holden, Ariana couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt, glancing around
her surroundings almost instinctively.
