Chapter 8: Welcome to the Wheaton Ranch

- ABBY -

After the sunset, Frans and I stopped at a small restaurant for a quick dinner before heading back to town to check into the local inn where we would spend the night.

The inn was a charming old building with ivy-covered walls and warmly lit windows. As we walked in, the friendly innkeeper greeted us with a smile and handed us the keys to our room.

I then told Frans that she could use the bathroom first, but the older woman insisted that I go first. I finished minutes later and noticed Frans outside on the balcony, talking on her phone.

"...she doesn't look like one. Chill ka lang, pwede?" I overheard her say something quietly to whoever was on the other end of the phone call. Frans turned around and smiled the moment she saw me. I smiled back before walking to my bed and placing my hygiene kit back in my bag.

"...sige na, talk to you again tomorrow... Don't worry, okay. Say hi to Lola for me. Bye." Frans hung up before stepping back into the room and closing the sliding door and curtains shut.

"Bathroom's all yours," I said casually as I folded my dirty laundry into my bag. Frans nodded, grabbed her things, and made her way to the bathroom.

After reorganizing my stuff, I sat down on the soft mattress and grabbed my phone from the bedside table separating my bed from Frans'. I unplugged my phone and opened the messaging app, only to be met with my best friend's suggestive remarks.

I quirked my brow as I read through them.
