Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 854:

Her fingers trembled as she held the phone to her ear.

She had no idea if he would answer—after all, when Rachel married Allan, Brian had disappeared. No one knew where he had gone. Ronald had mentioned something about an island—a place where Brian had gone to hide, to escape his own pain.
