Hailey had actually turned off her phone.

Why would she turn it off?

Jonah quickly got dressed, and that was when he saw the note on the nightstand

it was left by Hailey.

He picked it up and read her elegant handwriting.

The message was short. It read, "Jonah Pilsner, let's break up."

Jonah's pupils shrank in disbelief. He thought he was hallucinating.

He read the single line over and over again.

No, he hadn't misread it. Hailey had written that she wanted to break up.

How was that possible?

Last night, she had accepted his proposal. They had agreed to get married as soon as they returned.

And now she was breaking up with him? Why?

Jonah packed his things in a flash and rushed downstairs. Joe greeted him cheerfully, "You're up. I saw your wife leave earlier."

Jonah asked, "Do you know where she went?"


Joe replied, "She went to the airport. She said she's heading back first."

Hailey had gone back to the Capitol on her own.

Jonah's lips pressed into a hard line. She broke up with him without any explanation and flew home alone.
