Dahlia slowly opened her eyes. The sunlight had already filtered through the curtains....she had clearly overslept. She glanced around but saw no sign of Adrian. A sharp pang shot through her chest.
Panicked, her heartbeat racing, she rushed to Adrian’s room. She flung the door open, silently praying it was just a dream....that he hadn’t actually left.
But her knees weakened as she pushed the door open and found it empty. What shook her the most was that none of his belongings were there.
Tears welled up in her eyes. It was real. He had left. Her fiancé was gone.
She broke into sobs as she headed outside, where his car was usually parked under the tree. It wasn’t there. She collapsed onto the ground and cried uncontrollably.
Mason and Bella, who had been silently watching from the bed
