Chapter 11

“Two days!” Jemma paced the floor in front of her computer screen. “Two friggin’ days. How long does it take to deliver a breach birth?” She fumed. “And not a single text message!” Jemma could tell Calliope was just as angry as she was but was holding back.

Calliope watched her friend on the monitor. She too was getting a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Whatever Angel had planned to reveal to Jemma sounded highly suspicious. She suspected that Angel was keeping something from Jemma, too. She didn’t bring up her suspicions because she didn’t want to cause her friend any more worry. “I’m sure it was important.” She tried to play devil’s advocate.

“I’ve texted him every few hours all day.”

“Maybe he left his phone somewhere. You could always drive over there,” she suggested. “Or call his office in San Antonio. Isn’t he supposed to be there on Tuesdays? Surely they would know where he is?”

“I guess I could drive over. I should have earlier, but it’s too late now. Plus, that fire in eastern Banderas has been going on so I wanted to stay close to home.”

“What about calling his office?”

“I don’t know.” She had thought of that, too, but didn’t want to be that woman. “I trusted him wholeheartedly until two days ago, and if I start doubting him now, what would that say about this relationship?”

Calliope nodded her understanding. She watched as Jemma stopped pacing suddenly and looked off into the distance. Then, her eyes brightened looking into the monitor. “Hey, I think he’s here. I see lights coming up the driveway. I’ll text you tomorrow and let you know if he turned up.”

“Love you, Jems,” Calliope stated as Jemma signed off.
