"Hey Morgan, how are you holding up?" You can tell Allegra is concerned about how you're handling Keith being missing, even though she doesn't want to actually bring it up.
"I'm doing fine, really." It sounds like a lie but you are feeling fine, good even. You'd be lying if it wasn't a little concerning.
"Look, you don't have to put on a brave face for me. How about you come over to my place tonight, we can watch a movie or do something to take our minds off what happened at the house."
"I...sure, that sounds great." She hangs up, leaving you thinking about the house again. You've almost been suppressing your memories of...whatever happened in the Werewolf Den. Your memories of it have become fuzzy but you still remember the actors doing something to scare you enough to jump out of a fucking window! Did Allegra and Jenny have similar experiences? Allegra's tone did seem to change when she mentioned the house.
But you can think about that later! You're feeling energetic, uncharacteristically so. You change your clothes to something more workout friendly, feeling inspired to go for a run. In the middle of your run you're surprised by just how good it feels, you've never been in anything resembling good shape so normally you'd be feeling winded and pathetic right now. You're so caught up in it that it takes you awhile to notice the sun has set - you should be at Allegra's! When you've finally gone home, gotten changed again and started heading to her apartment you can only hope that she's not upset. When you reach the apartment and go to call Allegra so she can let you in you look up at the sky to see the almost full moon and it makes you feel...strange.
