It was finally time to clock out my shift, thank goodness. I couldn't bear another moment of hearing the Phantom's stories. Louise was cool. Kind of mysterious though.

I walked out of the prison and its gloomy environment, I whistled to the beat of Canned Heat.

"I need to stop thinking about him!" I thought aloud. I just kept going back to the moments where I had the pleasure of just meeting his gaze. I couldn't forget those angel eyes. I never realize how much I missed him until he was gone.

My mom held her promise of making me walk home, of course she did. But I kind of liked it. It was just me , my thoughts, and the world. I thought a lot about my friends and how being evil would fare for them.

Sara cried when Mihaly killed a worm outside because 'it had a family' so she's doomed. Poor Mihaly has really bad anxiety. I just hope they are okay. Brezziana is always about positive energy so I can't wrap my head around how she's evil in the first place. Wanderlust has prepared his whole life for being 'The Chosen One' so it goes against anything he's ever known.

I watched as the autumn leaves fell down like pieces into place. The gorgeous warm tones glistening in the moonlight. I felt like I was the tree, my mom was the wind, and the leaves were everything I've ever known. I was once beautiful until my mom ripped me of all of my pleasures. I felt naked.

I didn't feel the need to run, I was way to exhausted for that. I simply walked the whole way.

After an hour of walking I finally made it back to my house. My body was aching and fatigued but my mind was wide awake. As I walked onto my driveway I wondered if any of my friends sent me a letter or something. We only had two things though, a newspaper article about 'Danceverse Fashion' (but who even read the newspaper?) There was also a letter addressed to a woman named 'Leda Nox.'

"Huh must be the wrong address" I thought. Although I couldn't help but feel like that name sounded familiar. "Leda Nox.." I whispered to myself trying to think.

"I'll assume it's a neighbor" I thought to myself. "Or some old friend I haven't talked to in years."

I grabbed the envelope and walked into the house. The clock read 12:32 am. I probably need to get to bed, considering I have another shift in the morning. I slugged up the stairs and put the envelope on my nightstand. I changed into buffalo plaid pajama pants and got under the covers. I placed the envelope in the drawer of my nightstand.

An hour passed and then two. I kept tossing and turning, I don't quite know why. I've never really had trouble sleeping. That dumb envelope has been on my mind, somethings telling me I really need to open it. Plus, it's better for this Leda Nox to have her mail in my possession and not my mom's. I thought about it, and I finally decided to open the letter.

It read:

Dear Mrs. Nox,

Wow, with a mother like you who needs enemies?

Super happy about the outcome of this situation.

But what is his deal? So dramatic.

Might as well take a look at the photographs.

Sincerely,

DAOD

"Interesting" I thought to myself. There was some deeper meaning in this cryptic message but I'll deal with that tomorrow. Also, who or what is DAOD? I decided to look at the photographs.

The woman in the photos had light pink hair that was slicked back. She wore a cropped black suit jacket with black suit pants to match. She wore black heeled boots. The woman also had a hot pink leotard with feather details.

There are 3 photographs: one of the woman's eye up close, one of Leda doing a ballerina pose, and one of her posing for the camera. On the back of the photo graphs it said "I travel the world and the seven seas; everybody's looking for something"

My brain was so exhausted from the cryptic messages from this 'DAOD' person. Now that I knew what was in the envelope I finally could put my mind to rest. I would bring the envelope to work tomorrow and I would ask Louise if she recognizes the name. I went to bed around 3. That means I would get around 4 hours of sleep. Not ideal, but it's fine for the night. I closed my eyes and relaxed.

"Haha!" Wanderlust laughed.

We were at a picnic on top of this hill in a garden of flowers. The sun was setting which created a gorgeous reddish orange in the sky.

"I wish I could freeze this moment in time and live in it forever." I told him.

"You and me both!" Wanderlust responded. We laughed again.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. We ran around the place and grabbed flowers for each other.

I know it's super cliché but we ran into the sunset together, laughing, having fun.

Then I woke up, yep, unfortunately my dreams were just dreams and instead of running into the sunset with Wanderlust I had to get up and go to work. I did have a text from an unknown number.

"Hey Kid, it's Louise. Your Mom arranged for you to be picked up by an Uber today. It's one of our coworkers you'll totally love her.. She wanted me to relay that to you, be ready by 7:45."

As I was getting ready I thought about my dream. I've never thought about Wanderlust in a romantic way before, but then why was I having these thoughts? Add that to list of things to look up at work. Also, now I have to meet a new coworker. I hope she's nice.

Out of all the people I'll meet in the world, none of them will compare to Wanderlust.
