I haven’t heard from Sawyer today, which is unusual. He normally sends me a good-morning message, and we chat back and forth for a bit. Today there’s been zilch. I’ve left messages but nothing. I’ve called him. It rings twice, then switches to voicemail. What’s going on?

My imagination is going crazy. Was it something that happened with my dad? Did we do something to upset him? No, it can’t be that. He had a good time. He said so. Then we had an awesome fuck on his sofa before he had to go to work. Is he ill? I need to know what happened. This radio silence is killing me. First, I’ll ring the bar and ask if he’s there. If not, I’ll go to his place.

I walk back from the garage to my office and shut the door. I’ve got Bar 28 under Sawyer/work and press Call.

“Bar 28.” The man answering is not my boy.

“Hey, this is Devon, Sawyer’s boyfriend. Is he at work? I haven’t heard from him today.”

“Hi, Devon. It’s Gus. No, he called in today.”

“Is he ill?” I’m even more worried now. Why didn’t he call me if something was wrong?

“No, it’s complicated. I’m not sure I should discuss this with you, though. You should talk to him. I’m sorry, Devon.” Gus sighs.

“That doesn’t sound good, Gus. I don’t like it at all. I’m going to see him.”

“Yes, I think you should. Bye, Devon.”

I end the call and drop my phone on my desk. What could’ve happened between leaving him yesterday afternoon and now? I check the time and groan. I can’t leave yet, not if I want to get this damn engine running. I go back into the garage and over to the Yamaha rebuild I’m doing for a customer. I pick up a spanner and start to work, but in less than a minute, I’m back to thinking about Sawyer. This isn’t working. I need to go. I throw the tool back onto the bench, but it misses and falls on the floor, clattering loudly.

Andrew jerks his head up and frowns. “You okay, boss?”

“No, I’ve got to go out. I should be back by the time we close. But if I’m not, can you lock everything up?”

“Sure, no probs. Anything else I can do?”

“No, but thank you, Andrew.”

“Is it Sawyer? Is he okay?”

“I’m not sure. I hope so. See you later.” I stalk away into the office, shut down the computer, and grab my keys and jacket.

As soon as I’m in my car, I send another message to Sawyer, then start the engine and head towards Sawyer house. It takes me longer than it should thanks to roadworks and a diversion. As I’m waiting for another red traffic light, I check my phone. No reply.

Finally, I turn into his street and let out a breath when I spot his car on the short driveway. I pull up at the curb and just sit there. What do I do? Fuck it. I love this man. I need to know he’s okay.
