Chapter 30 The Day She Chose to Leave

The immigration officer finally let out a breath of relief when Jensen confirmed his connection to Natalie.

“Mr. Luke, Miss Natalie Summers had filed an application for travel documents with us. Everything’s approved now, but we haven’t been able to contact her. Should we mail it to her home or will you pick it up?”

Jensen froze.

“Travel documents? When did she apply?”

“Ten days ago.”

The words hit him like a brick.

Ten days ago? That was the day.

The day he married Sharon.

The day he left Natalie behind on her birthday.

He felt a sharp chill crawl up his spine.

“And… how did she look that day? Was she okay?”

The officer sounded slightly puzzled. “I’m sorry, Mr. Luke. We handle too many clients each day to recall individuals clearly.”

Jensen didn’t press further. He ended the call.
