Ethan's visit did little to assuage her fears. Sarah hugged herself, her head tilted and she fixated on a discolored stain on the carpet in an attempt to focus her mind.

She had few friends anymore. Her life revolved around her family and now they were gone she found herself lost without their guidance. Everything she'd ever done had been to appease them and without that motivation to push her forward she felt hollow.

“Really, I'm fine. You don't need to-” she began before something he said perked her attention. Sarah lifted her head, eyes meeting his with a curious tilt of her head. “You said rock concert? For the Grim?” The words supposed to had not been lost on her as Sarah noted rather than watching over the concert he was instead checking on her well-being and she appreciated the concern as she found being alone right now difficult. 

It was an ill time to attend a concert or a party, but she recalled her encounter with Johnny at the pharmacy earlier that day and the kindness he'd showed her. There was a nagging at the back of her mind and a groundless suspicion that he understood what she was going through. The passing of his own parents three years prior had been a tragic occurrence with near strangers offering their condolences and the media swarming him for comments. 

A quick glimpse at the clock informed her the concert would be over soon, but the after party would be starting shortly. “Actually, Deputy Hall, do you mind giving me a ride to the Moontower?” The words had come out without much thought to the question. It was a spot with a scenic overlook and a perfect view of the night sky. The area was fenced in by a thick forest of trees creating a canopy of privacy. Though good for bonfires and parties, it was also the make-out spot and it wasn't a place that Sarah had ever frequented. She'd been only once with a boyfriend in her junior year, at his insistence, and the night had ended in disaster. 

“I need to speak with a friend.” Calling Johnny a friend was a stretch, but for some reason he was the only person she could think of that she could talk to.
