Chapter 118 - Exactly What I Want
Alex didn’t hear any sound from the bathroom or the kitchen, so he went to check, but Joanna was nowhere to be found.
Those were the only likely places he perceived her to be but since she wasn’t, he checked the closet.
Joanna never liked it when she went it there because of the things kept there but at this time, Alex felt she could be anywhere including the places she didn’t like.
His panic grew when he noticed that the white shirt he had washed and airdried for her was missing, frantically calling out, "Joanna, where are you?" He was met with deafening silence.
Leaving the cabin, he heard the sound of water splashing in the distance.
A mix of emotions flooded through him as he wondered if someone had intruded on their space.
Following the sound of water, he spotted his white shirt hanging on a tree, explaining why he couldn’t find it in the bathroom where he left it, seeming likely that Joanna had worn it, as she wouldn’t have gone out in the lingerie from the night before.
"Joan, are you here?" Alex called out as he approached the water, which resembled a pool surrounded by vegetation.
There was no sign of anyone, and he debated whether to jump in or search elsewhere, especially since his shirt had mysteriously made its way out of the cabin.
