After some time, I finally got in touch with Fiona.
I gave her a call.
"You finally picked up! If your brother hadn't reassured me, I would've thought you were locked up somewhere."
I paused for a moment before asking Fiona what she was going to tell me before her flight that day.
"Don't you think your brother is weird? He always finds you when we go out drinking. And that time you got drunk, when he carried you to the car, from my angle... it looked like he was kissing you."
"Also, how did he know you were going to the airport and exactly which road you were on..."
"And... the night he was supposed to start staying at school, he suddenly sprained his ankle. Doesn't all of this seem too coincidental?"
I tried to reassure Fiona, "It's probably just a coincidence. He's been pretty normal lately."
After hanging up, I skillfully removed the tracker hidden in the pendant of my necklace, smiling slightly.
In the middle of the night, Peyton stared out the window, murmuring, "Abbey, if you found out I lied to you, would you forgive me?"
When he asked that, I happened to be reading a line that said, "If people fall in love in sin, they should love until their bones creak."
Hearing this, I glanced at the little red mole on his Adam's apple, lowered my eyes, and replied, "What do you think?"
Peyton, I've told you before, we are the same kind of people.
So, don't worry—I will never leave you.
Extra Story—Peyton's Diary
A long time later, I opened Peyton's diary.

"Death is not the misfortune of the dead, but the misfortune of the living."
This was the first sentence that caught my eye.
I assumed this must have been written around the time our father passed away.
I continued reading.
