Chapter 335

The line was open, but no one was picking up.

Tried calling a few times, same thing.

Don was glued to Brandon's side, even tried dialing with his own cell.

Same deal - call goes through, but no one's on the line.

"Maybe she's tied up with something and missed her phone," Don couldn't help but make an excuse for Sophia. "She's usually swamped with meetings at work, phone's on silent most of the time. Missing a call or two's nothing weird."

"Smart cookie, that one," Brandon said as he turned and headed for the underground garage.

Don was a bit slow on the uptake. "What do you mean?"

"It's no rocket science. If it happens all the time, you don't start thinking it's out of the ordinary."

Brandon's voice was faint, his stride unbroken.

It was all in Don's head - she'd already flown the coop.

Turning off her phone or canceling her number would've been a dead giveaway that something was up.

But getting through and not being able to reach her? Happens to everyone. It's a dime a dozen.

Loads of possibilities, but you wouldn't jump to the conclusion they've gone AWOL.
