I AM COMING HOME

I blinked at the text, trying to understand what it really means but failed to.

I know the text is from Ryan, and it means that he is coming to Canada, but there is a desperation that comes with the text that I do not understand.

Transferring the hospital coat to my left hand, I dialed his number but it went to his voicemail. Trying so hard not to overthink the situation. I have not seen Ryan type with so much desperation.

Turning off the stove, I leaned on the kitchen island and continued dialing his number but I kept being redirected to his voicemail.

I would have called Angelo to find out what was going on, but I don't have his number saved up in my phone. He has called me a few times, but I didn't save his number.

Scrolling through the few unsaved number that I have spoken with over the past few weeks, I hoped the one I picked out is Angelo's.

Dialing the number, I placed the phone on my ear and waited for him to pick. He finally did. "Hello? Angelo?" I breathed out, hoping he is really the one on the line.

"Hello ma'am," a voice that definitely didn't belong to Angelo responded. "I don't know who you were trying to call, but this is Dr. Rashid."
