I hadn’t gotten a US SIM card for my phone yet. I’d intended to get one at LAX but when I’d found Chase with Donald the Dude that plan had gotten lost in my head. Then I’d planned to get one soon as we arrived in San Diego, but Doofus had entered our life and once again, I’d forgotten all about it.

Fortunately I’ve got an iPhone, which means as long as I’ve got a Wi-Fi connection I can text and FaceTime for free to other iPhone users. Thank you, Steve Jobs. That meant Mum and Dad back in Australia could chat to me as often as they liked while I was over here.

On the assumption my phone was charged, of course. Which it wasn’t. It had been over forty-eight hours since I touched down and the thought of charging my phone hadn’t crossed my mind. Thank God I’d asked Brendon to let Mum and Dad know I’d arrived and was A-OK.

So when I woke up to find Chase AWOL I did more than kick myself that I’d yet to plug my phone into a power point. I’m not going to tell you what I said. Probably better you hang onto the idea I’m a civilized person in crisis for a while longer. Nor do you want to hear what I said as I upended my bag, searching for the universal adaptor I’d brought with me from Australia.

I set my phone to charge and then stomped around the motel room for a bit, frowning at everything. Discovering I had no way of contacting Chase directly was frustrating. Especially after yesterday. It didn’t occur to me to use the landline in the motel room. I’m going to blame being half asleep and flustered beyond all logical thought.

It took me longer than it should have to find the message from her on the notepad. The penny dropped a second after my brain processed the bad news about Doofus: Chase must have gone to the animal hospital.

How do I know this?

A little backstory about my past experience with Chase, if I may.

The day after my bone marrow had been transplanted into Tanner, I had a reaction to the general anesthesia. Classified as severe hypothermia, I had chills and was shivering so badly my body began to shut down. Scared the crap out of me.

Suffice to say, when I began to lose feeling in my extremities and couldn’t breathe properly, I was rushed to the ER. By the time I arrived, I was convulsing violently. When all this happened, Chase was at work at the pet shop. I’m not sure why, but Amanda sent her a text telling her I was on the way to hospital. At this point in our relationship, Chase had rarely acknowledged my existence with anything other than the odd grunt, rolled eyes and sarcastic snipes about my beard.

Apparently the second she got the text, she bolted from the pet shop – mid interaction with a customer who was, according to
