Summary
He goes to check the living room next, only to be distracted by a new photo display hung up on the staircase wall, above the cupboard she stores her gardening equipment in. There's around 15 photos in total, all in random mix-matched frames, a couple with half-ripped Goodwill stickers still attached. Unsurprisingly, the pictures are mostly of Sherry with Jake or Claire, but there's a couple of Chris and Helena, and even a blurry shot of Hunnigan and Leon passed out in his office.
There's one singular photo of her as a child, yellowed from age and slightly damaged at the bottom. He can vaguely recognize her parents beside her, Annette barely attempting to smile, and William not even pretending to. In a fairer world, they'd be grinning just as wide as their daughter, and there would be plenty more memories of them up on her wall.
In a fairer world, he wouldn't need to be here looking for their daughter at all.
On the 30th of September, 2013, Sherry goes missing inside her own home. It's up to Claire and Leon to help her, just like they did 15 years prior.

Summary
"…Are you going to make me talk about it?"
"Not tonight, no," she concedes, finally looking away from the screen. Her eyes are weary as they meet his; he doubts she's slept in the last 24 hours, but he knows she'll deny it if he asks.
He leans in closer to her, until he can rest his head on her shoulder comfortably, while she wraps her arm around his waist. Her nails are digging into his skin of his stomach, and it hurts but he doesn't say anything, because he knows she's just scared, but too stubborn to say anything.
In the aftermath of a suicide attempt, Leon and Ada try to make the most of the remainder of his Sicilian holiday.
