Brendan’s Coming Back!
“Hello!”
“Someone’s very chipper today.”
It was prudent of Deirdre to have stopped shy of calling out Tobey’s name, or Brendan would have
immediately caught wind.
“Did you guess it was going to be me?”
Deirdre gripped her fork tightly. “Who else could have called me?”
He laughed. Deirdre heard the sound of the airport announcing boarding time for a specific plane and
froze. “Where are you?”
“Aww… You heard that?” Brendan sounded a little disappointed. “It was supposed to be a surprise, but
I guess the announcement had to come at the worst possible timing, huh? I’m coming back from Neve.”
Deirdre jumped to her feet, her chair falling behind her. ‘Why are you suddenly coming back? You said
your trip would take three days. It’s only the second day today!”
“You’re the reason, Dee. What else could it be?” He chuckled and lowered his voice. “I hate every
second of being here. I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking about you and our child. Besides, I don’t
feel safe leaving you alone there.”
Deirdre felt her entire body freezing as Brendan continued reassuringly. “I know it’s hard, but you got to
be patient. Just wait for me at home. I’m boarding the plane, and it’s not going to take me a long time
before I get there.”
He ended the call.
Deirdre felt an explosion in her chest. She bit her lips hard, her body trembling. How!?
How could this have happened!? She had thought she had the whole day to prepare before escaping
by night. Then, when Brendan returned the next morning, he would find the room empty and could not
find her even if he tried. But now… he was coming home!
Deirdre rubbed her cheeks. She was shocked, but honestly, she did not even have the time to be
shocked. She called Tobey, her fingers quivering.
A while later, the call finally connected. “Dee? What’s up? Are you awake?”
“Tobey!” she cried out, closing her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered. “Are you prepared?”
‘Why?” Tobey detected something amiss. ‘What happened?”
Maybe it was fate being cruel again. Deirdre laughed bitterly and gave him the bad news, “He’s on his
way home now!”
“He what!?”
“He just boarded the plane. I think it’s going to take him less than two hours to come home.”
Panic shadowed Tobey’s face. He had been lying on his couch, hoping to catch a bit more shut-eye,
but the sudden change of plans galvanized him into putting on his jacket. “Okay, calm down. Are you at
home? I’m coming to get you!”
‘Where are we going?”
Tobey gnashed his teeth. “I’ve talked to my friend, and the plan was to leave tonight by ship, but I
guess we don’t have the luxury of waiting now, do we? There was a cargo ship set to sail to Surstate
around now, though. But there’s no room for us to sleep in, and the environment could be a little
“Never mind that!” Deirdre snapped. “I just want to run! I just want to run…” “I’m coming.”
Tobey ended the call. Deirdre did not waste any more time panicking, either. Gritting her teeth to calm
herself down, she went up the stairs and stuffed a mat into her bag.
There was no room on the cargo ship, and the sea was cold and wet. Her frail body would not endure it
as well as she hoped, but this was her only chance. She brought her bag downstairs and waited.
Seconds ticked by, then minutes.
Finally, there was a sound on the door. “Dee, it’s me! Open the door!”
Deirdre yanked it open, her face pale with anxiety and dread. “T-Tobey!”
He grazed her cheeks. “It’s okay, Dee. It’s okay. We go, right now. I’ve checked the flight. Brendan’s
plane’s only going to land in ten minutes.”
Deirdre nodded hard. With her bag in her hand, the two of them bolted toward Tobey’s car without even
closing the door.
