Soren interrupted me before I could apologize, “Taylor, haven’t you learned to inform me before doing anything? I thought we planned to visit the Kenway residence this weekend.”

I took a deep breath and tried to keep my voice steady. “I called you last night, but you didn’t answer. I texted you this morning too, but you didn’t respond.”

“Sorry. I got pretty drunk meeting with my clients last night. I just woke up. I’m calling you now because I saw your message.”
