Chapter 9 Whisper In The Wind
- The week passes by quickly and Olivia finds herself giving up on trying to find Dan. She gathers all the newspapers and cut-out articles from the floor and stuffs them in the bin where they should have been for a long time. She takes the opportunity to tidy the rest of the house, too; all of Dan’s stuff goes into a cupboard where she doesn’t have to look at it every day, watching her go about her life and constantly confronting her with what now seem like distant memories. She forces herself to work as much as possible, spending any free time she has finding friends and, in a way, trying to forget Cayson. Since he left, she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about him.
- Something inside her craves him, craves to be near him, and she can’t seem to work out why. Sure, she likes him. She’d even go as far to say he’s hot, but there’s something else there; something else that’s pulling her into him.
- She has stayed away from most of the places in which she spent so much time before, but still ventures out at night, unable to stop herself from visiting that one place. She doesn’t know why she’s drawn there, doesn’t know why she keeps going, it’s her mind that seems to bully her into it even though she knows it’s crazy. Part of her hopes she’ll run into a vampire there because that way at least there’s more of a chance of seeing Cayson.
