Chapter 16: Yes I Exist
----Going back to Daniel-----
When I woke up in the morning, I was shocked to see my phone flooded with missed calls. My heart raced, and I jumped out of bed, fearing that something terrible had happened to Katherine because she had called me so many times while I was asleep.
I immediately called her back to make sure she was okay. She answered right away. "How are you? Is everything alright? Where are you now?" I asked, my voice trembling with worry.
I heard a soft laugh from Katherine. "You worry too much! I'm fine. Do you miss me already?" she teased.
Frustrated, I yelled, "You're the one who called me a million times while I was sleeping!"
She then spoke a single word that left me silent: "Thanks." Despite being just one word, I could feel the depth of her gratitude even through the phone.
It turned out she knew about what I had done to the person lurking around her house. She also understood why I hadn't told her, knowing that I was only thinking of her safety. She just wanted to say thank you.
I guess I'm just really worried because I feel the weight of everything she's been through. She is still being watched by Senator Julius' men, who are our mutual enemies.
Suddenly, the word "Arcana" popped into my mind. Katherine had mentioned that word to me before and called me an Arcana when we first met. I asked her about it during our call, and she said it would be better if we met later so she could explain it more clearly.
