Missing
Manquante
A surge of fear went through me. But, I ignored it.
"What's your full name?" Phillip asked.
"Lacey Lynn Manquante. It's french for "Missing"."
"I see. I wonder what your last name means."
"I wonder what yours means."
"Touche."
I winked.
"So, what brings you all the way out to the forest? I told you why I was here." I said.
"Just wondering around. I like the forest. So peaceful."
"I see..."
Is it bad that I was starting to crush on Phillip?
"It's getting late. I should get going." He stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Wait...Where are you staying?"
"Actually, nowhere..."
"Stay here. I insist."
Sure he's a total stranger, but what's the worst that could happen?
"If I'm not intruding, then I would gladly like to stay."
