Soft evening light filtered through the tall windows, but it did little to warm the atmosphere.
The usual cozy glow of the house felt muted.
Florence and Ravene sat side by side on the large sectional couch with gloomy faces.
Florence's hands were clasped tightly in her lap, fingers twisting together nervously.
Her face was pale, and dark circles had begun to form under her eyes from restless nights.
She turned to Ravene, "It's already been a week since Husband, Elize, and Charlotte went missing…"
Her words trembled "I am getting even more scared as time goes."
Ravene was sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest, arms wrapped around her legs.
She tried to force a reassuring smile onto her lips, "Don't worry, Florence," she said, reaching over to gently squeeze Florence's hand.
"Both Elize and Charlotte are incredibly strong. Nothing can harm them."
Florence turned her head to look at her, "B-But what if it has something to do with those gods?"
