My CEO 325

325 Chicken Soup for the Soul (Winona)

I've called Jayden three times now. Nothing. He's not answering, and it's 3 a.m. over there. What the hell Is he doing? My mind's racing, and it's not helping that I've got this news about Henry.

We'd hoped he'd be cleared to travel in four weeks from when Jayden left. Which means I could have been going in two weeks. But his doctor is concerned as he's been so unsettled.

He wants to make sure he investigates every possible reason for that before letting him out of his sight. I get it, and I'm so glad he's being thorough and not just blaming me for bad mothering, but it adds another possible 4 weeks onto when I can leave for Europe. Anne offered to be with them tonight and Beth said she could stay until after the kids were all asleep, so I've taken Lisa up on an offer for a girl's night out and Lisa also got Cass to come along.

But not being able to reach Jayden is messing with my vibe, especially after the Sofia call early this

morning.

"Maybe he's just passed out from all the business crap? Lisa suggests, swirling her wine glass around." Sounds like he's under the pump.

I nod, wanting it to be just that. "Yeah, maybe. But still... three calls?"

Cass scoffs and leans back in her chair. "Men. Always MIA when you need them. Am I right?"

"Preach it, sista." Lisa says and gives her a high-five. "I dated Lance again last week and now he can't answer a call."
