An hour later I returned, empty-handed and distraught. It was dark outside now, and I was cold.

And shaking.

And crying.

And furious at myself.

How could I have done this?

What am I going to tell Jake?

I paced around the apartment. Was my memory failing me? Maybe I hadn’t worn it running? I looked in my bedroom, in my jewelry box, in my nightstand, all through my dresser drawer. Under the bed.

Nothing.

Had it come loose when I took off my workout clothes? I pulled everything out of my hamper and went through it all on the floor.

Nothing.

Then I scoured the living room. Couch cushions, phone stand drawer, desk drawer, bookcase, even my mom’s wooden box.

Empty.

I moved to the kitchen and checked every nook and cranny. Nothing. A search of the bathroom yielded the same result.

When there was nowhere left to look, I stood in the living room and wiped the remaining tears from my cheeks.

Once again, I stripped off my clothes and tossed them into the hamper, then took a long, hot shower, hoping to wash away the sick feeling that was engulfing me.

It didn’t work.

Wrapped in my bathrobe with my hair up in a towel, I grabbed my phone. I had to call McKenna or Andie. I saw that I had two new voice mails and frowned as I sat down on the couch to listen. I knew they were probably from Jake and was crushed about what I had to tell him.
