Strangely Forgotten
"You just seemed to trust them a lot, that's all."
You shrug, "I'm not sure who I should trust, to be honest. But you seemed more honest then them, I think."
"Did I?" Your cousin sighs again. A relieved sigh.
"What's going on, anyways? Didn't you say you knew the truth? Or that they were lying or something?"
She nods, "I've been in that house with them, taking cover, for nearly four weeks. They let me pose as their niece. They never mentioned you until they told me that you were at the hospital. I have no idea how they knew. They stayed in their house all day. And it takes a few hours to drive here, anyways."
"A few hours?" You question.
"Yeah. Anyways, I was gonna ditch 'em last week, but when I met you..." she shrugs, "I felt kinda obligated to try and help you out."
You nod, deep in thought, "I'm glad you did. Thank you."
"Yeah, no problem."
You shrug, "I'm not sure who I should trust, to be honest. But you seemed more honest then them, I think."
