The next day, we went to the airport to book a flight to Cape Cod. Emma seemed excited, while Louis was anxious. Even though he missed his sister so much, it would be a nervous sight to see her again. I couldn't blame him, really. It was just two days since she has left, and two days for Emily in Cape Cod must be a long time already.

Two days.

We solved her clues in just two days.
And we're here to find her now. Day three.

I watched Emma slowly fall asleep on my shoulder, in the middle of reading her book.

I sighed and patted her shoulder. She murmured something about lighthouses, ghosts and the Bermuda Triangle.

Louis was sitting across from us, quiet and looking at the map. He's been quiet lately. He doesn't really seem to bring up the topic about Emily, because this was the day we were going to see her.

If we are going to see her.

It wasn't certain she'll be there.

Emily's mind was always the uncertain, shifting from one to another. But it was possible she is going to be there.

I sighed and looked at the window, hoping that Emily had never done this, and that we were back home at the park, feeding the ducks.
