Horace hesitated She

Brittany quickly stepped in No she hasn t left She s in the room right next door
Stanley’seyeswidened.”Really?You’re notlyingtome?”

Horace and Brittany felt heavy guilt The Heart chain Curse was a curse caston Stanley by Ida and Jessica together They bore an undeniable responsibility for it
But Stanley wasn t convinced No I m going to find her
