I pass the kitten to Rueben and I stand up, getting my phone out of my pocket.
My hands are shaking as I call Scarlett.
Her phone (my phone) goes straight to voicemail.
“No,” I say, shaking my head.
Scout gets up and puts his arm around me.
Gus’s face is ashen when I look up.
“I don’t understand,” I whisper, not believing it. Not wanting to even think about it.
I call Scarlett again, and again.
She’s not picking up.
Her calls are going straight to voicemail.
Giving up on that idea, I redial the resort she’s supposed to be staying at.
They don’t answer, so I keep trying.
“Pick up the damn phone!” I curse as I redial again.
I won’t stop calling until they pick up. I can’t.
I can’t lose Scarlett like this.
Not like this.
I start to cry when the resort ignores every last phone call I make to try and get through to them. Scout hugs me close and Bishop wraps his arms around me from behind.
“It’s okay,” Bishop tells me. “We’ll figure this out.”
“We have to,” I mumble against his shoulder.
My twin has to be alive.
I would have felt it if something awful had happened to her.
No, Sapphire. She’s the one who feels what you’re feeling.
You’ve never had that same experience. Not once. Ever.
Oh, God. I think that’s true.
I wouldn’t know if Scarlett was in trouble.
I never know. She’s always the one who knows.
This can’t be happening.
I can’t lose her.
I just can’t.
