She has hope he's still alive, clinging onto a note he wrote her on their final night together, though when she finds him, things aren't exactly as they seem... Quick PSA: I wrote this story from start to finish in about a month and a half, during a very busy time. It's not perfect; this is basically a first draft and in my second draft I'll be tying up many plotholes and spending much more time on it, instead of just trying to write from A-B. However, given the time constraints, I'm really proud of this. Any feedback, good or bad is super helpful!Complete
