“You just said we need to go see Adelia in the hospital?”
“You just said we need to go see Adelia in the hospital?”
"Is that not where she is? I assumed that from what you said earlier."
“I have no idea where she is..” He said truthfully.
Abi recalled about half an hour earlier. "Then why did you say she was in the hospital?" Her brow furrowed as anger flashed across her blue eyes. "Why did you lie to me?"
“I-I didn’t want to tell you. With everything going on I thought it would be best. I shouldn’t have lied..I’m sorry Abi. I don’t know why I keep doing this to you..”
If Abi wasn't so desperate to find her sisters now more than ever with this newfound clue, she would have left things with Blake the same way as four years ago. Instead, she picked up her bag and started walking to the door.
Blake stood up and out a hand on the door, looking at Abi. “I’m so sorry. And I don’t deserve you, but when you left I never stopped loving you. After my brother died I tried pushing you away becuase you were just another person I didn’t have anymore. But I still love you, and I want to help.” He didn’t give her time to respond before wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her close to him, kissing her hard.
Abi leaned back into the kiss, missing Blake's touch so much. When they broke away, she said breathlessly: "I mean, I was just gonna go try and find Adelia but that works too."
“I missed you so much.” He murmured, hugging her tightly and burying his face in her neck.
Abi hugged back, not wanting to let go. "I missed us," She said.
“Me too..” He replied, remembering how much he had missed her.
Abi tried to break from the hug, and basically had to pry Blake off her. "Enough missing for now. We have find Adelia. But where could she be?" Abi thought, looking around. The grand piano caught her eye. "I wonder….." She thought out loud, and walked over to it.
Blake reluctantly followed her over to the piano. “I don’t know what happened. One minute she was in the hospital then they said she had checked out and left.”
Abi opened the lid of the piano and immediately saw a small gold flower pendant. She turned to Blake. "I know where Adelia is."
“How the hell?” He frowned down at the flower.
"It's hard to explain," Abi said. "But you have to trust me on this." Quickly grabbing the pendant, and without giving Blake a chance to react, she ran out the front door.
Blake hurried after her, closing the door behind them. “Where are we going?”
"You'll see!"
Blake laughed a little and ran after, catching up in a second and taking her hand in his.
"When I was younger, Adelia used to talk about a golden greenhouse, with flowers of all types. I never believed her, but went along with the story. That is, until she actually showed me it," Abi explained. "I remember the way to it. She has to be there. It makes sense with this being left behind," She continued, showing Blake the pendant.
"Ok then.." He followed her to the greenhouse.
Abi opened the doors. "Adelia!" She called. When no answer ensued, she headed towards the orchids. "Adelia!" Towards the blue orchids. "Adelia!"
"Abigail! Darling!" A voice called back. "I thought you'd never arrive!"
Blake's mouth dropped open. "Wh-how?!"
"Oh, hello dearie. Come closer, Abigail." Abi moved closer.
"Do you know anything about my sisters?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
Blake closed his mouth and swallowed, still in shock.
