SAMANTHA

Panic seized me in a cold grip. My eyes widened like saucers as I scanned the scene, looking frantically for Ellie.

“Where is she?” I asked frantically.

Chance stood still as a statue, his hands on his hips as he glanced around. “Gotta be here somewhere.” His voice was cool and calm. No doubt he was worried, but he was the kind of person who didn’t let his fear get the best of him. “How about this – we split up and look for her.” He turned around, the Ferris wheel behind us. “I’ll go west, and you go east. Make a big half circle and loop back around here. One of us is bound to spot her.”

His even disposition calmed me, as did the few deep breaths I sucked in and released, steadying myself. “Alright,” I said, my tone more even. “Meet back here in fifteen?”

“Sounds like a plan.” He put his hand on my shoulder and gave it a squeeze, nodded, and headed off. Chance was easier to spot in the crowd, his massive height towering over just about everyone else there.

Once he was gone, I began backtracking toward the games to see if El was there, but I didn’t spot her. From the games, I went on to the food without finding her. She wasn’t at the Ferris wheel or in the crowd at the rodeo. With each passing second, I grew more and more fearful, worried that something might’ve happened to her.

It occurred to me to check the entrance of the fair – she might’ve gotten scared and thought that’d be the best place to wait for her dad and me. I weaved through the crowds, my heart racing as I drew closer and closer to the entrance.

Right at the moment I feared the worst, I spotted the monkey. The thing was so big I could hardly see Ellie behind it. But there she was, talking to someone just out of sight behind a tall set of stands. I rushed forward, wanting to grab onto her and see the stranger she was talking to. The figure was tall and reedy, thin but with a toned physique. He wore a pair of black jeans and a black sleeveless shirt, his sandy-blond hair tied in a ponytail. His features were sharp, and he carried himself with swaggering confidence.

Kyle.

I froze, having no idea what to say or do. Kyle wore a big, friendly smile on his face, talking to El like they were old friends. He squatted down to get to her level, and Ellie laughed at something he said. He reached for the monkey and gave its arm a squeeze, causing El to laugh harder.

I had to say something. I couldn’t believe Kyle was there. And he was talking to the little girl I was in charge of keeping safe. I wanted to move my legs but couldn’t, fear holding me in its grip. Before I could force myself to put my fear away, Chance approached from behind the two.
