Who: Charlotte Evans and Tristan Lewis
What: Phone call
-ring-
The other end picks up and Tristan speaks low into the phone. “Hello?”
Charlotte’s voice is small and strained. “I’m sorry, Tristan, it’s – it’s me. I couldn’t... Have you found her yet?”
A short, painful pause. He doesn’t want to tell her. “Not yet.”
“Oh.” Her voice is even smaller now, and it’s clear she’s trying not to cry. “Where... where have you looked?”
A soft sigh. He can hear it in her voice and he doesn’t have the heart to lie to her, even if it’ll just make it worse. “We’ve been everywhere. All her usual hang outs, her flat, Fabletown... We just left the Farm.” Another pause. “I want you to keep in mind that we could be very wrong, Charlotte.”
“Wrong? But there’s nowhere else she could be!” She’s not trying anymore – she’s definitely lost it.
”She may already be with him. In the Homelands. What little evidence we have suggests he took her there.”
“Oh, god. That’s even worse...”
”I know.” A short pause. “We’ll be back soon. Is there anyone you can think of who might be able to help?” Somehow he doubts that his brother would be letting her leave now that he has her.
“I don’t... I don’t know, she’s friends with that demon, Nick, but he’s not... Miri, maybe? But that’s hardly an army.” Charlotte sniffs and tries to get her composure. She’s thinking the same thing.
“We’ll need all the help we can get, so if they’re both willing to help, a demon and an angel is a serious advantage. Even over my brother. If you’re feeling up to it, will you contact them? Gareth and I have one more stop.”
“Yes, yes, of course, I’ll – I’ll do that now. Where will you be? I’m sure they’ll be able to find you wherever, but I...” She pauses and swallows hard. “I just need to know.”
“Good question. Gareth and I can come back to the castle first before we leave, if you want. It wouldn’t be any trouble.” His voice is soft and hesitant. He knows this is pressing but he wants to make sure she’s alright too.
It takes her a few moments to answer. “... Would you?”
”Yes. We’ll be right there.”
She breathes a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Tristan. I – I love you.”
Only a short pause, a smile clearly in his voice. “I love you too. Be there soon, promise.” -clicks-
