A/N: Okay, Sarah, it's 111 words. I couldn't cut it any more-sorry love. This is for xoxLewrahxox's forum (The Suspicion theme challenge).
I have to send many a great thanks too a few people for encouraging me to keep going. Hanna for encouragement, Hannah for her sage advice, and Lia for reassurance. Love you all.
Gone Without Warning
Her behavior had been strange (absurd). She stayed up late nights, roaming the halls, muttering to herself; rubbing her ring finger with shaky hands.
When questioned about her behavior, she dismissed the blatant attempts to pry (suspicion); shrugged her shoulders and walked off. Sometimes, when she seemed to be returning to normal, she'd seize her sisters and hug them tightly, muttering pleas of forgiveness and "I love you".
Perplexed, both girls would smile with a curt nod, a raised eyebrow, and an "I love you" in return (confused).
Four simple words: "I'm not coming back", scribbled onto a piece of parchment laid next to her Black family crest.
