When I awoke the next morning, I was alone in bed. A glance at my phone told me it was nearly nine a.m. Since I’d slept in, I figured Jack was probably in the kitchen, making himself some breakfast.

I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth before going downstairs. But instead of finding Jack, I found a note on the kitchen counter. All it said was:

I decided to go back to San Francisco. You’re going to think I stole your Cadillac, but I only borrowed it. I’ll leave it with valet parking at one of the hotels on the Strip before I take the bus home. I don’t know which hotel yet, but I’ll message Romy and let him know, since I don’t have your number. The valet ticket will be at the hotel’s front desk, in an envelope with your name on it.

Also, I swear to you I’m going to get your watch back. It’s the first thing I’ll do when I get home. I’ll send it to your Vegas address by certified mail, since it looks like you might be there a while.

Please stay safe, Adriano. You mean more to me than you’ll ever know.

I didn’t care about the car or the watch. All I cared about was Jack, and I needed to know why he’d suddenly decided to slip out in the middle of the night like that. Why didn’t he tell me he was going? And did he ever plan to see me again? The note left me with a million questions and an ache in my chest.

The thought occurred to me that maybe he’d only left a minute ago, so maybe I could still catch him. I rushed to the front door and threw it open, which set off the alarm. It kept shrieking as I ran out into the middle of the street and looked all around.

But he was long gone. Of course he was. He’d probably left hours ago.

I pushed my hair out of my eyes and yelled, “What the fuck, Jack?”
