*Ava* I walk into the apartment to see my best friend packing again. I look around, trying to figure out what I'm missing, but don't seem to be able to put the pieces together. “Where are you going? You just got back," I ask her. She's currently trying to shove a bunch of clothes into the suitcase but looks up when I speak. She gives me a wide, toothy grin. “Long Island. Daniel surprised me with a weekend getaway trip! I'm so excited." A thrum goes through me at the realization. If Emma's gone, then I don't have to explain where I'll be going. And, what's best, she doesn't even have to realize I've left the apartment at all. I'll have to tell Liam that we need to get back before Emma does. I don't want her to know I was gone, and I know Liam will make sure that doesn't happen. Gui
