Toby was still wondering if he was hearing voices when Tina cried out for him again, “Open up, Toby. Please…” Toby focused once he heard her cries, and he knew it wasn’t a dream.

He got out of bed and turned on the lights before he went to the door. What greeted him was a woman with disheveled hair and torn clothes. He froze up for a moment, frowning. “Tina?”

 

“Toby…” Tina looked up at him tearfully.

When Toby saw the state she was in, his face fell. “What happened?”

Tina puckered her lips sadly, and she cried even louder. She was about to hug Toby, but he took a step back reactively. When Tina realized what had happened, she stopped crying and stared at him angrily. “Did you just avoid me, Toby?”

Toby knew he must have hurt her pride, so he coughed and explained, “Sorry, Tina. You know I’m a germaphobe.”

 

“Yes, but—”

“Alright, Tina. Tell me what happened,” Toby interrupted.
