Jason’s POV
I’ll be back soon, my ass.
Those were Cara’s words, and she had spoken… no, she had written them down with so much confidence, but now she wasn’t even back home.
Cara had always been stubborn, but this? This was reckless, even for her. She knew better… or at least, I thought she did. I raked a hand through my hair, the frustration coiling tight in my chest.
It was now very late and she wasn’t here. Not only had I been calling her but she had not been picking up, but I had retracted her steps an hour ago, going to the hospital to look for her, where the staff gave me polite, unhelpful smiles and shook their head. Then, I went to the damn farmer’s market which was already closing down by the time I arrived. No one remembered seeing her, and the car was nowhere to be found.
