DAWSON

It had been a few days since Tessa’s abrupt departure, and I sat in my office, frustrated as fuck and confused as hell as I stared down at my phone. Since I’d spoken to Tristan in the meantime, I knew she was okay, but I wouldn’t have if not for him.

I’d called and texted her a bunch of times, but she hadn’t responded once. Obviously, she was ignoring me. I just didn’t know why.

Tristan seemed to be back to his usual self, but now it looked like the other Hayes twin had gone haywire. Gripping my phone in my hand, I willed it to ring but it didn’t. It was what I’d been doing—and with the same outcome—since she’d pulled her little hit and run.

A growl came out of me when the screen died again without ringing. I was so damn sick of this. Tessa had been playing it hot and cold since I’d gotten back, and at this point, all I wanted to know was what had gone wrong.

If she didn’t want anything more than sex from me, then I wouldn’t force the issue, but it sure would’ve been nice to have known what the fuck was going on. I’d thought things were going well between us despite the development issues that we still needed to work through, but then she’d gone and disappeared from the face of the earth after we’d slept together.

Out of fucking nowhere, she’d rolled out of bed practically before I’d even caught my breath, looking like she’d been on the verge of tears, and now she was nowhere to be found. Honestly, if I hadn’t casually mentioned her to Tristan when I’d spoken to him yesterday, I’d have thought she’d been kidnapped or something.

There was complete radio silence—so bad she wasn’t even reading my messages. They’d all been delivered to her, but not a single one had been read.

As I tossed my phone down on my desk, I couldn’t resist the urge anymore. So far, I had stayed the fuck off the internet and social media, but now I had to know. This was getting ridiculous, and the lack of answers was driving me up the fucking wall.

If she was dealing with something major at Hearts and Homes, then it still wouldn’t explain why she’d left my place so abruptly and especially in the state she’d been in, but at least I’d know if work was why she was avoiding me. By the same token, if there was nothing out of the ordinary happening there, then I’d know that wasn’t my answer. That it wasn’t work but personal.

At this point, since I’d prefer any answer to no answer, I went online and checked her social media pages first. There was nothing really there except a few inspirational-type things she’d shared, and when I landed on the organization’s social media page and saw there wasn’t a crisis there either, my heart dropped.

Tessa’s face smiled back at me from my screen, a selfie she’d posted of her and some of the volunteers.
