Kylie definitely isn’t here. Everything is spotless. No dishes in the sink, no random crap left out on the couch or coffee table. I glance in her bedroom. The bed is made and there’s no sign she’s been here recently.
It doesn’t look like she slept at home last night.
My chest feels hollow again, the emptiness taking over. I’m too late.
“I’m sorry.” Selene rubs her hand across my back. “Would she have stayed over at her dad’s?”
“No,” I say. “She never sleeps there.”
Selene sighs and looks around. Her phone buzzes in her hand and she almost drops it. She puts a hand to her mouth and looks.
My heart races again. “Is it her?”
“Yeah,” Selene says. She looks up and meets my eyes. “She says she’s in London.”
I burst out laughing.
“What?” Selene asks. “Why the fuck is that funny? What’s she doing in London?”
Holy shit, I’m so proud of her. “It’s something she’s always wanted to do. We were supposed to go for New Year’s. I returned the tickets already, but I guess she decided to go. Quick, ask her if she’s alone.”
Selene types and we wait.
“She says she went by herself.”
Elation pours through me and I put a hand on my chest. She’s not with someone else. I can still do this. “Oh, fuck. That’s the best thing I’ve heard in six weeks. Let’s go.”
I head for the front door.
“Where are we going now?” Selene asks.
“Home to pack,” I say. “We’re going to London.”
