“I don’t know everything that’s going on, and maybe your new girlfriend is just strange. But she was working on her laptop while she was at the house and asked to borrow mine. She started up a game on it! So she was working on hers and playing a game on mine.”

He stood taller. “Did she say anything about the game?”

Terra’s gasp was incredulous. “Why would she? It’s a game. Alex, come on. What’s going on?”

What’s going on is that he was about to lose everything or save the day. But he definitely couldn’t stand down. “Did they say where they were going?”

Terra shrugged. “I think Nora mentioned she wanted to go home. Mackenzie said she would text you.”

He glanced at several texts from Mackenzie that had come through in a rush, explaining she was going with Nora and Carson. “Okay, yeah. She texted me.”
