They just give me a blank look. After pressing the button, I hear the click sound. The door of the liquor cabinet unlocks. I pull the door open and press the shelves—it swings open.
“Whoa!” they chorus.
I want to jump up and down, but not yet.
“Motherfucker! He has a secret place, huh. And his best friend doesn’t even know about” Patrick shakes his head and looks amused.
“Let’s find my husband, shall we?” I get inside and flip another light-it starts to illuminate through the spiral stairways. My heart beats fast in my chest.
Please, Sebastian, be here.
I lick my dry lips and take a huge breath.
“This is the only place I know where to find him. If he’s not here, I don’t have another in my mind.” I face the twin, and they both nod.
I slowly follow my step down the stairways to avoid missing a step. The light in the cellar is open. My hope rises, and my heart flutters more.
