"Anything else you want to ask me?" Reba inquired, ready to leave the room.


    Fresh tears glistened in Laura''s eyes. "Where is Luke? Can you please tell me where to find him? I want to see him! Please bring me to him!" she begged.


    ??


    A frown appeared on Reba''s forehead. "Why? Why do you want to see Graven''s twin brother?" she asked in confusion. "I can''t understand your sudden fascination towards Graven''s twin brother," she said in bewilderment.


    Laura sighed. She doesn''t know if it''s safe to tell Reba about her short rtionship with Luke. Although she easily told Graven about her rtionship with Luke because she thought Graven was Luke.


    But telling another being about Luke and her is hard for her. Can she trust Reba?


    "I''m not going to answer your question unless you will tell me first the reason why you are interested in seeing Luke?" Reba said.


    Laura looked at the other woman with pleading eyes. "Reba, please stop asking me questions...just please... answer my questions. It''s important for me!" she begged.


    Reba pouted. "Sorry, I''m not gonna tell you more about Luke if you won''t tell me first why are you so persistent in asking a lot of things about him?" she said adamantly.


    Laura took a deep breath. It seemed she has no other choice but to tell her about the truth. "C-can you keep a secret between us, Reba?" she asked first, wanting to make sure that she can trust her and her secret is safe with her.


    Reba looked at her and nodded her head. "Sure, you can trust me. I can keep your secret safe with me, considering that we both go through near-death experiences inside the cave. Just tell me...so that I can understand you better," she said, trying to make her at ease while poking at her hidden secret.


    Laura released a deep sigh. "Previously... before I came here in South Pond Town, I happened to meet a guy who looks exactly like Graven. He introduces himself to me as Luke. He''s so romantic and sweet. He showered me with hisvish attention and affection. I fall for his charm in just a short period. We be intimate for a few days...then we got separated...and I have no idea where he is now...until I saw Graven. I thought he and Luke are of the same person..." she borated further.


    Reba was listening to Laura''s narration attentively. "I see... so that is the reason why you want to see Luke. But what I''m going to tell you next will surprise you..." she paused for a moment. "Hmm, wait for a second...can you tell me, when did you meet Luke?" she asked all of a sudden.


    "We meetst month," Laura exined.


    Reba''s eyes widened. "Huh? You and Luke meet each other justst month?" she asked in surprise, her eyes widened in disbelief.


    Laura doesn''t like the surprised expression on the woman''s face. "Why? What''s wrong? Did I said something wrong?" she asked, rmed.


    Reba was shaking her head. "B-because...Luke died a long time ago!" she exined.


    Reba''s revtion was like a bomb that exploded in Laura''s ears. "Whaaaaat-!?" she asked, stunned.


    "Exactly five years ago!" Reba added.


    "F-five years ago! Are you sure?" Laura asked in disbelief. Her body went cold due to shock. A myriad of emotions shed in her face. She was thoroughly shocked by Reba''s revtion, she''s not expecting the truth to be like this. She was expecting Luke to be alive and well, living somewhere, not dead!


    "I was there when Luke died, I saw him inside his coffin!" Reba said.


    Fresh tears erupted from Laura''s eyes rolling down her face. If Luke is already dead? Then who is the one she had sex withst month? C-could it be that she was making love to a ghost? That''s the only logical exnation that she can find. "B-but he can''t be dead! We make love several times in just a few days!" she insisted.


    A frown appeared on Reba''s forehead. "Are you sure? Maybe you''re just hallucinating or dreaming?" she suggested.


    Laura shook her head adamantly. "No! I''m not hallucinating! I know that what happened between Luke and me when we''re together was real!" she insisted.


    Reba stared at Laura''s face for a few minutes. "Wow! This is interesting! My mind was blown away," she finally said.


    "W-what is interesting?" Laura asked.


    "Your im that you make love with Luke justst month is interesting to hear because he''s already dead all these years," replied Reba. "You mean- you make love to a ghost?"


    "No! I make love to a real person! Not a ghost!" Laura insisted.


    Reba sighed. The woman won''t believe that her previous lover is already dead. no matter how he will insist to her that Luke is already dead, she won''t believe her.


    "C-can you bring me to Luke''s grave? Please?" Laura said. "I will only believe your im that he''s already dead if you can bring me to the ce where he was buried," she said in a determined voice. She was looking at Graven''s fiancee, doubting her im that Luke is already dead. She has a gut feeling that she''s hiding something from her, that she knows a lot of things about the twin brother.


    "I''m so sorry, Laura. I can''t bring you to Luke''s grave. His grave is off-limits to outsiders. No one can go there, only his twin brother Graven can visit that ce," Reba responded thoughtfully.


    Laura rubbed her eyes and sighed deeply.


    Reba also yawned and nced at the wall clock, it''s already midnight. She rose to her feet. "I''m feeling sleepy, I want t go back to my room. Rest well, Laura. Good night," she said. "See you tomorrow," she added.


    "C-can we continue our conversation tomorrow?" Laura asked. Even if she still wanted to talk to her, she has no right to detain Reba in her room for a longer time especially that it''s already midnight, time to sleep.


    Reba smiled. "Yeah, sure!" she said cheerfully and exited the door.


    Laura locked the door and went to bed to rest for the night.


    ~


    In the hallway.


    Graven waited for Reba to leave Laura''s room. "What took you so long inside Laura''s room?"


    "Your sister-inw asked too many questions about Luke," Reba replied.


    "So...do you think she believes everything you told her?" asked Graven.


    Reba shook her head. "I dunno..."


    The couple went inside their respective room to retire for the night.


    While Laura was twisting in her bed, unable to sleep after hearing all the shocking revtions about Luke this evening.
