“Don’t tell anyone what’s about to happen.”
I took a step backward.
“What are you talking about?”
He didn’t answer.
Instead, he took out his phone and sent someone a message.
“She’s here,” he said quietly.
I tightened my grip on my bag, ready to leave.
“I’m going.”
“Emily, please. Just give me five minutes.”
“Open the door.” What happened next read in the comments‼️👇‼️👇
He opened it immediately.
That calmed me a little, but I was still ready to walk out.
Then I heard footsteps in the hallway.
Someone was coming toward the room.
I looked back at Professor Hayes.
He seemed nervous.
It was the first time I had ever seen him like that.
The door opened.
A woman in her early sixties stepped inside carrying an old brown box.
The moment she saw me, she froze.
Then she covered her mouth with one hand.
Her eyes filled with tears.
