Irene put down her phone after sending the text and waited for a reply from Lulu.
She would peek at the screen from time to time, but there was nothing…
Even as she reclined against the couch, she wondered the possible causes of Dennis's death.
Naturally, she could not come up with anything, and that only left her more frustrated!
Still, as she scratched her head…her phone jingled with a notification.
She quickly picked it up, and tapped on the screen to find a reply from Lulu: [How can I help?]
Irene took a moment to consider her words: [Can you come back to Cloud City?]
There was another long pause before a reply came: [Do I have to go back to help you?]
Irene replied: [Yes.]
Still, she became worried about troubling Lulu since she was married now.
And since Lulu wanted to start over, Irene had even less reason to bother her.
[Actually, I was just joking. I missed you, that's all.]
Lulu, however, doubted that. [I know you, woman. I'll check if there's a bus.]
Irene pursed her lips and quickly typed. [Thank you.]
[Cut that out. There's no need to get formal between us.]
Irene stared at the screen and smiled.
It was good having friends.
Another text soon came. [Bought a ticket. Tonight, 8 PM.]
[Call me when you arrive. I'll come to get you.]
[Sure.]

The door opened just then, and Irene looked up to see Isaac entering, with Zachary Slate in tow.
