Day 2090

Jordan

SOMETHING FELT OFF the second I turned the key in the door. I pushed it open and looked around, but everything looked the same as I’d left it. I was probably overreacting, but those days I never knew what I’d find when I got home.

Dana was slipping away. She hardly ate, rarely left the bedroom, and the girl I knew was almost gone. Her fear was understandable, but I couldn’t figure out how to help her. She’d seen half a dozen therapists, tried medication, and other things, but nothing seemed to work. Despite proposing to her and reaffirming every day that it’s what I wanted, she couldn’t believe I wouldn’t just disappear.

I walked the hall toward the bedroom and pushed the door open. I was surprised to find she wasn’t in bed. I checked the bathroom, thinking she might have decided to try going into the living room today after getting cleaned up. She wasn’t there either, so I checked the walk-in closet, though I assumed I would’ve heard her in there. Nothing.

I started to get nervous, but I checked the other bathroom and the guest room first, then the balcony. She was nowhere to be found. I began to panic and searched through everything again, but she was gone. I frantically dialed her cell number, but she’d left it behind. It rang on the nightstand, taunting me.

I darted into the living room only to find all her belongings exactly where she left them. She didn’t mention leaving the apartment. There was no reason to believe she would since she hadn’t in months. I ran out of the door and searched the entire building, even the gym, but she wasn’t there. I checked at the neighbor’s, but he hadn’t seen her. No one had seen her anywhere.

I ran back to our apartment and tried to decide what to do next. Perhaps she walked to the shop? I called, but none of my employees had seen her. They promised to keep an eye out but seemed doubtful she would magically appear when she hadn’t been there in such a long time. I paced the floor, one second from freaking out.

I knew the police wouldn’t do anything since she wasn’t necessarily missing, but I tried anyway. Luckily, one of my regulars at the shop was a cop, and he offered to do a ride around the area searching for her. He called an hour later to tell me he had nothing yet, but he would keep searching. During that hour, I paced like a caged tiger.

Eventually, I went back to the bedroom and sat on the bed. Something crinkled under the sheet, and I pulled it back. There was a handwritten letter there. I snatched it up praying it was a simple note from Dana telling me she went for a walk or to the grocery store. Anything that would make her disappearance make sense.

Dear Jordan,

I know it won’t be easy for you to read this. Trust me, it’s killing me to write it, but I have to.
