“It’s Alicia. I can’t believe it’s actually Alicia.” Yvonne still hadn’t calmed down, her heart racing.

“You could try finding a chance to meet her, take things slowly and carefully,” Sean suggested.

Yvonne nodded, her eyes bright. “You’re right. Help me check Alicia’s schedule over the next few days. Even if I can’t reveal myself, at least let me see her and make sure she’s safe…”
