I watched Gavin’s face go pale as he clutched the phone tightly. His eyes met mine, and I could see the turmoil, confusion, and

something else lingering in them. My heart squeezed at the sight of him like this.

After a long beat of silence, he finally cleared his throat.

“Can you have Gamma Erik come to the Carter Resort?” He asked into the phone. “I’ll be there shortly.” T

After another stretch of silence, he hung up, his eyes never leaving mine.

“I need to leave,” he announced, his tone sounding almost distant now as he scooted his chair away from the table and stood. I

watched him, confused. We were in the middle of a date; what did he mean that he had to leave? “Please, enjoy he rest of dinner.

Nan will put the bill on my tab. Erik will be here shortly to pick you up and bring you home.”

“Is everything okay?” I asked him, but I could barely get the question out before he turned and walked through the restaurant.

I stared at his retreating back until he was completely gone; my mind in a whirlwind of thoughts and my heart pounding

unsteadily against my chest.

“He barely ate,” Nan frowned. “Should I box it up?”

I shook my head.

“He never takes leftovers,” I whisper, feeling tears prick the corner of my eyes.

She shrugged and sat down in his place.

“Guess now is a good time to take my break then,” she teased as she started to nibble on his food. “I’m sure it’s nothing. Don’t

worry too much about it, Judy.”

“He has never left me like this before,” I whisper. “What if it’s something important…”

“Then it’s his problem and I’m sure he’ll explain himself later,” she told me, giving me a small smile. “Don’t worry too much

about it.”

Despite her words, I still worried deeply about it.
