I opened the door, and Lewis caught me before I could take another step. "Elena, don't worry."
"Theo, what's happening?"
"Right now, we don't know what's going on with the cruise ship. They changed course, and just a day in, the entire ship went dark." Seeing the fear rise in my face, Theo added quickly, "But nothing bad has happened yet. If something had gone wrong, she would have found a way to reach out before the signal was cut. They must have acted while no one was watching."
Lewis pulled me closer, his warmth steady against my panic. "Even without a signal, a ship that size can't just vanish. As long as Whitney is on board, Luther won't touch her."
"They've probably shifted their approach, sensed something closing in. And remember, there are other forces involved. Don't spiral."
I exhaled slowly. Worry wasn't going to bring her back.
