Lia: Check the news. Now.

Ariana’s heart sank.

Had they found Rita? Was she … not okay?

Ariana couldn’t even think about the possibility.

Damon turned to her, his eyes wide.

Without a word, they raced to the living room, where the news was still on the TV.

A local reporter spoke fast, and a photo of Rita was plastered on the screen.

Ariana couldn’t make sense of her words. Looked down at the ticker below the reporter.

Rita’s car had been found in a lake. They hadn’t pulled it out, and didn’t know if anyone was inside.

Aria cried out. Everything spun around her.

Damon wrapped his arms around her, keeping her from falling.
