CHAPTER 14

Colin

SUNDAY

I couldn't believe this had happened again. Things had gone so amazingly well with Skye, and she had told me she would call when her shift was over – but I had waited hours and hours, and eventually, when I had called the restaurant, they told me that she had left early, on account of her being ill.

I’d tried calling her, but like before, the calls had gone straight to voicemail. I had sent texts, too, but there had been no response. I had messaged her on Facebook as well, but ditto – no response, nothing.

I still didn't know where she lived, so it wasn't as if I could go to her place and talk to her in person. I paced around my apartment, I tried to play guitar, I tried to watch movies – but I just couldn't get my mind off her. What was she trying to do? Why was she doing this to me? I just couldn't get my head around it.

The day came and went, and then night fell, and still there was no word from her. What was going on here? I had woken up in such a state of joy and contentment, and now I was down in the dumps. What had started out as a wonderful day had turned into a nightmare. Why on earth was she doing this to me?

I eventually had a few whiskeys to take the edge off things and managed to fall into a fitful sleep.

MONDAY

I awoke the next day feeling drained and miserable, and called Carly to tell her I wouldn't be coming in today. No, I was going to get to the bottom of this thing with Skye. Things couldn't go on like this; they just couldn't.

I decided to head over to the dance studio, imagining that she would probably be working there.

However, when I walked in, I saw that there was someone else working the counter. I asked her about Skye, and she told me that Skye wasn't scheduled to work at the studio today. All right, well, I guess I could cross this place off the list.

After that, I headed to the restaurant. If she wasn't there... well, then, I really had no idea where I would find her.

I walked in and a pretty waitress greeted me with a warm smile.

“Table for one, sir?” she asked.

I guess I did need a bite to eat, even though my appetite was gone on account of this whole thing with Skye.

“Um, yeah, all right, table for one... Tessa,” I said, noticing her name tag.

“This way, please.”

She led me over to a table and I took a seat. “Could I get you a drink while you decide on what to order, sir?”

“Got any eighteen-year-old single malt whiskey?” I asked her.

“Um, no, sir, we don't serve hard liquor here.”

I looked up at her. “I'm not actually here for food. Do you know a waitress here named Skye?”

“Yes,” she said, looking surprised. “You know her?”

“I do, yes, and I'm trying to find out where she is.
