>Hug your friend.
Today has been a long day. A really long day, full of weirdos, murder sites, Witch hunts, and missing parents. Lorene rubs at her eyes. And she’d had a horrible night of sleep going into it, too. There weren’t really any more leads she could follow, not without Olivia following her and being put at risk. It was about time to throw in the towel.
“You okay, Lorene?”
Olivia looks at her, a little concerned. Lorene smiles at her friend. “Yeah. Just tired.”
“Alright.” Olivia crosses her arms and sits there silently.
Lorene yawns. “Is there any way I could talk to your dad? I know he doesn’t want us to look into it anymore, but maybe I could help with the investigation somehow, if he shared some information.”
Olivia snorts. “That’s funny. My dad really is too good at reading people. He’s out on patrol right now, but he told me to tell you ‘the best way you can help is by staying safe.’ He also said something about not wanting to have to explain to your parents why he let their daughter roam around to look for them.”
Lorene laughs a little. Then she hugs her friend, resting her head on her shoulder.
The girl blinks, but doesn’t move away. “What’s this for? I didn’t do anything.”
Lorene softly smiles, then closes her eyes, finally letting them rest. “It’s not for you. It’s for me.”
>Lorene will be waiting with her friend until the sleepover tonight.
