Nicole’s POV
I checked the time but Liam was still not back, I felt myself choked up with guilt concerning what happened earlier, I tried not to overthink it.
I stood by the window, watching the sky darken into the evening. Liam was busy. He had said that himself. Work ran late sometimes, especially now. I understood that but still… something felt off.
I picked up my phone, thumb hovering over his name as l pressed call.
It rang twice and went straight to voicemail.
I frowned, pulling the phone away from my ear to check the screen, as if it might explain itself. I tried again but still it went to voicemail.
My chest tightened just a little. Maybe his phone’s on silent, I told myself.
I paced slowly across the room, bare feet brushing against the rug, my thoughts refusing to settle.
