"What about me? How am I supposed to live without Queenie!" Flynn yelled like a cornered prey.
I almost chortled out loud. "You've been living without her for nearly two months now. And you're still well and alive."
"Hear me out, Luna. Daniela was suspected of a miscarriage, so she was admitted to a hospital. My mom was watching over me like a hawk 24/7, and she confiscated my phone. I couldn't contact Queenie at all. It wasn't until Daniela was discharged and I promised to marry her that my mom released me.
"But I couldn't find Queenie. Our apartment was empty, and every gift I gave her was there. She never spent any of the money I gave her. It was all in the debit card on the table. Queenie was gone. Her personal items used to be next to mine, but they all disappeared.

I finished his sentence contemptuously, "But you still have your parents, your baby, and many things you can't let go of. Queenie isn't your entire world, so you don't want to die yet. Answer me this, Flynn. You know how close Queenie and I are. Why didn't you call me?
"Don't use Colin as an excuse. Did you truly believe what Colin told you or did a part of you tell yourself that Queenie couldn't live without you, so she would return to you eventually? It was the latter, wasn't it?
