Lily nestled into Alex's chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her cheek. Outside, the world seemed to slow down, cocooning them in a peaceful embrace.

"Have you heard from Abby? Did they find her?" Alex's voice broke the tranquil silence, his words laced with concern.

Lily tensed slightly at the mention of her cousin, Abby.

Despite her own fears and worries, Lily couldn't shake the pang of jealousy that surged within her at Alex's inquiry about Abby.

"No, I haven't heard anything yet," Lily replied, her voice steady despite the turmoil swirling within her.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in Abby?" Lily's question hung in the air, tinged with a hint of accusation.
