I'm in the bus right now. I'm getting near the address. I do have a feeling that you really live here. It's your kind of place. Though it's still dark, I can make out the atmosphere of the countryside. It's peacefully quiet.

After a few minutes, the bus stopped and I got down. I walked towards the address after seeking directions from local farmers who were heading to the farms. It was quite cold as I rubbed my palms and pulled my scarf down.

I stopped in my tracks. My heart hammered against my chest as I looked over the house. The house where apparently you live. I rechecked with the address in the note and I was indeed in the correct location.

I couldn't see the house clearly due to the darkness. I inhaled deeply and dragged my feet to the door. My hands were trembling as I slowly pushed the bell button. The annoying noise of the bell shot through the entire house breaking the odd silence.

I could hear shuffling from inside and my breath hitched. I couldn't breathe and I furiously fidgeted with my shirt. The door creaked open and a tall figure towered over me.

"Mitch?"

you must have forgotten, but Mitch is not him. Mitch is his best friend who was mentioned in the earlier chapters where he rescued Eva in one of the voicemails. ❤
