"Enola? You asked to see me?" Caroline asked as she walked into Enola's home.

"Yes, Caroline I need to speak with you." Enola said and sat down on the sofa.

Caroline followed her actions and sat down.

"Caroline, I need you to go into a safer place. I'm frightened that whoever is trying to kill me will use you or any other people close to me to get to me."

"But... what do you mean?" Caroline furrowed here eyebrows.

"You need to stop being friends with me..."

Caroline gasped.

"Wh- wha-

"At least until I figure this whole thing out." Enola said.

Enola put her hand on Caroline's hand.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay away from me for a while you'll be safe and sound." Enola smiled sadly.

"B-but that's not what's worrying me...I still want to be your friend!" Caroline exclaimed.

"It's just for a bit, I promi-

"Why can't you just figure it out already?! Aren't you one of the best detectives in the world?!" Caroline yelled before gasping at her own words and covering her mouth.

Enola's jaw dropped and she held in a breath.

"I'm sorry..." Caroline whispered.

"I'm sorry I don't know where that came from..."

Enola exhaled.

"It's okay... I understand. You were just stressed." Enola said softly.

"Yes, yes." Caroline said still in shock.

"I-I I should probably go now.." Caroline stood up.

"O-Oh okay I'll see you again soon, I promise." Enola said.

Caroline looked back at her.

"I'll see you soon..." Caroline said before walking out the door.

Enola let out a long breath and put her face into her hands.

Oh no...

The next step was going to be the worst by far.

She had already had this conversation with Flora and Caroline and now she must have it with...

Tewksbury...


"Tewksbury I need to talk to you." Enola said, dragging Tewksbury to her sofa.

"Alright...? Are you alright Enola?" Tewksbury asked, concerned.

No, anything but

"Tewksbury... you know I love you so so very much right?" Her voice broke.

"Yes of course, and I love you so so much too, love." Tewksbury said with a confused face.
