Looking out the window at the foggy afternoon, Lily felt dread envelop her like a heavy mist. She did not want to have to go back out there, in the dank forest all by herself, but she knew she had no choice. She just had to find him. She just had to. There was no way she could let him stay out there any longer alone, lost, without food and shelter in the deep recesses of the woods. She just hoped that it wasn’t too late already.
