Missing

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."
