Nevaeh felt cold air kiss her skin as she nervously made her way down the hallway to the stairs. She had thought there was some misunderstanding and the maid was wrong about her sister being around, but her hopes were shattered when the maid said they looked identical.
Elle was really there? She gulped as she rubbed her sweaty palm on her gown.
Didn't her mother say Elle hasn't been found? How come she was here now?
Nevaeh had never thought Elle's return would make her feel this way—Uneasy. She had wished for her safe return, but now she was having unimaginable thoughts which she was so ashamed of.
She rubbed her hand on her arm.The news of Elle's presence had suddenly turned her cold, and her insides were twirling and churning.
Every worry she had felt since she stepped foot into Dale's house came rushing down to her, making her heart pound when she saw it was indeed Elle. She was truly back.
