Chapter 0502

"Another day, maybe," Luke said, matching my gaze. "We'll find him. I promise."

I nodded as I put the truck into drive. "I hope so," I murmured, veering out onto the road. "And when we do... I'm gonna kill him."

After dropping Luke off, I parked my truck in the driveway, its headlights casting long shadows that danced across the front lawn.

I sat there for a moment, staring at the house that had become my sanctuary. My thoughts lingered on Nina, on the baby, on all the what-ifs that chumed in my mind like the stormy sea. Despite everything Luke had said- truths I knew in my gut were right-I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that gripped me.

Leaving Nina alone, especially now, felt like an insurmountable task. My hand hovered over the ignition, hesitating to turn it off. If I stepped out, if I walked through that door, I'd be one step closer to leaving her for a dream job that had been, up until this evening, exactly what I'd wanted.

Driven by instinct, I pulled out my phone and dialed Tim's number. The call went through, and I heard the familiar ringtone echo in the confines of the truck.
