Thomas looks at me for a long moment. "You put a tracker in her phone remember?."
I freeze.
Then I turn and look at him.
"You're right."
I pull my phone out and open the app. My hands are steady, but my jaw is clenched so tight it hurts.
The screen loads slowly, too slowly for my liking.
Then a dot appears.
There.
Her location appears to be far from the city, exactly where she thinks no one would look.
I stare at it, something cold settling in my chest.
"She's running from me," I say quietly, mostly to myself.
Thomas doesn't answer.
I grab my jacket and my car keys.
"She won't get far."
Elaine's POV.
I don't realize how loud silence can be until I'm sitting in the middle of it.
For a second I just stand there.
I drop my small bag by the couch and walk farther in. The place looks exactly how I left it months ago. Minimal, cold and empty
I rub my arms.
I tell myself this is what I wanted. Space, quiet and distance from him...… distance from everything.
