Stella turned to look. Joshua was leaning back in his seat, fast asleep.
Seeing him asleep, Abby lowered her voice. "Star, ever since you went missing, Joshua has only been resting for three or four hours a day."
Abby had said "resting", not sleeping. In truth, Joshua couldn't sleep at all.
She whispered, "Star, Joshua was going out of his mind with worry, and he blames himself. He thinks that if he hadn't left, you wouldn't have been taken by Leonard."
Stella shook her head. "Even if Joshua had been by my side, we couldn't have been together twenty-four-seven. Leonard managed to kidnap us through the kitchen vents before, so he could have found another way. Don't forget, he bought up the places we frequently visit. And that's just what we know about; there are probably many more we haven't found."
Abby sighed. "You're right, but Joshua still blames himself. He..."
Abby seemed to want to say more, but she glanced at Joshua sleeping beside Stella and hesitated.
Finally, she whispered, "I'll tell you more when we get back."

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
Please move on from Stella's troubles, we need more exiting news. Like Joshua discovering that Stella is the one he has been looking for,the owner of the earring....
