What's next?
Is she okay
“Layla, are you okay?”
A shuffling sound comes from the other side of the door, then a voice. “N-No, I am…” Ethan hears her slide against the door, sitting against it. “I’m sorry, Ethan.”
Ethan doesn't really know what to say to that. “You have nothing to apologize for…” Ethan’s pretty sure he hears a snort from the otherside of the door. “I shouldn't have barged in.”
“No, Ethan, you-” she sighs, suddenly sounding exhausted. “Thank you, Ethan. Really, but… would you please leave? I can explain… me, later. I promise.”
Sighing, Ethan takes a step away from the door. “Okay, I’m leaving now…”
No response.
Glancing back over his shoulder, Ethan does as she asks and walks away, making but only after taking a moment to close all the windows first.
