"So what do we do now? Cecilia is not with Massa and neither is she with Eloive". I asked, taking off my shoes. Sia popped a button on his shirt.

"Nothing. I only volunteered to help so I can decide to wash her case off my hands".

"But don't you think you owe it to Eloive to help? He would get in serious trouble with his father".

"I do well to avoid situations like this. Cecilia is not missing and neither does she want to be found. You were right after all, she is with her lover".

What was he saying? Eloive clearly stated that he had no idea where Cecilia was.

"What do you mean?".

"I don't know why he lied and it doesn't matter how I know about that".

"Maybe he doesn't trust you. Perharps he was scared you would report him to Ruarc. Forget it. Where's your lover?", I ask looking around the cabin.

I didn't see her when we left for Eloive's, and I haven't seen her today.

"She left. Gone to him. Just like you initially wanted. And stop acting like you care about her whereabouts",
