the end of the week, Elaine had never felt so horrible before. There wasn’t a day that had passed where her stomach didn’t twist. It only worsened when she’d see Liam. He’d taken to ignoring her again.

She didn’t try to talk to him either.

It wasn’t just him, either. Her illness seemed to be affecting her more and more. She worried that hiding would become impossible and she’d finally have to face the truth of it. She was dying.

The thought terrified her more than she would admit. She simply refused to think about it, pouring herself into her work until Friday.

Friday she couldn’t take it anymore. So when she got up that morning, her plan wasn’t to go to the foundation. She still had a bucket list to complete, and more than ever she wanted to get it done.

“I’m going hiking today,” Elaine said as she passed Harriet.

Harriet was at the table, looking over some case she’d been assigned. “You’re what?”

“Raven’s Point.”

“Didn’t take you for a hiker. You sure? I hear that trail is kinda tough,” Harriet said.

“I’m taking a personal day and I’ve always wanted to. Not just for the hike, but the view from the top. I heard you can see all of the Wind Wolf territory,” Elaine said, packing a bag with extra water and several energy bars.

“I’d go with you, but I’m swamped today.”

“Don’t worry about it. I know you prefer shopping over hiking through the woods anyway.”

“I always get so sweaty and sticky,” Harriet muttered, shaking her head.

Elaine laughed. “That is part of it.”

“Are you and Liam still not talking?”

“Just wondering,” Harriet replied, though decided to drop the subject as she noticed the withdrawn look on Elaine’s face. “Okay, well, keep your phone charged. Call if you need anything.”

“If you get back before I do,” Harriet replied.
