Capítulo 316: A fuzzy memory

Alex stepped inside the room that was dark and seemed empty. He could not sense any movement inside the apartment. But Ben told him that he had already escorted Dani home an hour ago.

He surmised that she might be in their room, waiting for him. She might even have fallen asleep due to fatigue. He also felt like dropping down on the bed after a long day.

"Dani, are you in here?" Alex moved along the living room, checking the sofa if she might be there. But the place remained quiet without a sound.

He continued to walk further inside the house, even checking the kitchen, but there was no sign of her. Then, he climbed the stairs, careful not to make unnecessary noise. In case Dani was sleeping in their room.

He noticed the lights on the hallway on the second floor slightly dimmed, not exactly unusual, but he was used to a brightened hallway.  He strode to their room and opened the door, puzzled at what he saw. Darkness enveloped the entire room.
