Nina

I leaned back against the airport terminal wall, scrolling anxiously through my recent texts to Enzo. There was nothing new, aside from my frantic messages asking where he was. My calls had been going straight to voicemail all morning, just like they had been the night before.

Even though dread was threatening to take over me, I tried to hold onto some hope. Maybe he had forgotten to charge his phone again. Yes, that had to be it.

"He'll probably be here any minute," Jessica said, her blue eyes following my concerned gaze down the empty airport terminal. "Give it another few minutes."

I mustered a strained smile. She had been saying that for the past twenty minutes, and yet he still hadn't shown up.

Still, seeing no signs of him emerging as the plane emptied, my palms grew clammy, my pulse quickening. Finally, the last tired stragglers passed through the gate.

No Enzo.

My throat tightened. Please, no. Had something happened?

"I'm going to talk to an employee," I said. Jessica met my gaze and nodded, unease darting through her own eyes. Offering Jessica a stiff smile, I slipped over to the counter. "Hello," I said, trying my best to keep my voice steady. “My husband was supposed to be on that plane, but he's not here. Can you check for me?"

The agent looked up at me over her wire-rimmed glasses and shot me a curious look. "I suppose," she said, sounding a little annoyed. I watched as she tapped away on her keyboard, my fingers worrying the hem of my shirt beneath the counter.

"Name?" she asked.
