Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

“Ha–ha. Yes!”

Jenna was over the moon, curling up into a little ball, snuggling close to her mom.

Meanwhile, Gilbert was on the verge of blowing up Sherilyn’s phone!

He had arrived at the dance studio at 6 o’clock sharp to pick up Sherilyn, as they had agreed. But, her phone was unreachable, and she hadn’t replied to any of his messages.

What was going on?

Gilbert furrowed his brows, puzzled.

Just then, he spotted Rebecca stepping out.

“Rebecca!” Gilbert quickly intercepted her, “Hey, has Sherilyn not left yet?”

“Sherilyn?” Rebecca looked surprised, “Oh, she left nearly an hour ago.”

Really?

Gilbert’s attempt to maintain a smile faltered, “Do you know where she went?”

“No clue, she didn’t say,” Rebecca shrugged.

“Thanks.”

“No problem.”

As Rebecca left, Gilbert’s handsome face turned grim. Sherilyn had already left? Where to? Had something happened? Why wasn’t she answering her phone?

If something had come up suddenly, shouldn’t she have at least informed him?
