Chapter 97

• Chase walked out into the night to grab a bottle of water, his thirst getting the better of him. As he entered the living room, his eyes caught a flash of red hair, and he realized it was Diane sitting on the couch, her eyes fixed on the floor.
• He grabbed two bottles of water and walked over to her, his footsteps echoing in the silence. "Can't sleep?" he asked, his voice soft with concern.
• Diane looked up at him, startled, her eyes red and puffy. "Hello," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, as she stood up and began to walk away.
