Time seemed to pass much more slowly. I hadn't heard from Bai Long Qiang in almost three months, and although school was keeping me busy, I had already completed all the assignments due this semester.
That meant that I spent most of my time either staring at the ceiling of my dorm room or staring at the tracking device on my phone. Either way, I was going stir-crazy.
"If you want, you can always go to the cabin," said Mom out of the blue. I had taken to calling her every evening just to be able to talk to someone who wasn't in medicine.
"We have a cabin?" I asked. This was the first time I had ever heard of something like that. Since when did we have a cabin?
"Mmmm," she hummed. "But it is out here by City D, so that probably won't help. Maybe next time you come home, I'll take you out and show you where it is. No one has been there for years, but it was quite cute, sitting on the lake. Maybe I'll have someone go and make sure it is in working order. Would you like that?"
