"She's not answering. This isn't like her," I said, worry coloring my voice.

Christopher placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "I'm concerned about you and your friend. Let me stay until you reach her."

the hotel together. He'll need someone when he wakes up, and I think this might be my

I shook my head, struggling to find words.

"Nothing... just... I'm worried about her. She barely knows that him, yet she went to his hotel..." I said, collapsing onto the sofa.
