Chapter 132: Asking For Help
Sitting at the dining table, Rory sipped the coffee. The morning sun rays spilled in through the large windows. The birds were chirping, the dewdrops were perching on the blades of the grass like pearls.
The day has begun.
Rory didn’t even finish the previous day with sleep. She didn’t sleep the entire night, and though her head felt heavy, she did not feel tired at all.
Julia and Claire were in the kitchen, chatting with themselves about mundane things. They might be talking to her too, but Rory could not hear a word they said. She had tuned herself out of their conversation.

Rory ended the call. Her heart sank. If one of the reporters knows her phone number, everyone will know. She can’t switch off the phone either. She might get important calls.

She saw Derick and Lennon getting on the porch after a run. Derick got Lennon’s towel that fell on the ground and passed it to him.
