Chapter 13

“You okay, baby?” Alex reached over and touched Jamie's lower back as they walked to a table at the back of her favorite steak restaurant.

“Yeah, just a little worried about my sister. She sounded more depressed than usual today.” Jamie took the seat the host pulled out for her. Mark had left them at the front of the restaurant to run to the restroom. Jamie was almost grateful for the few minutes with Alex so she could talk to him about Christine.

“Do we need to go over there? Is it that serious?” He sat down and tugged his napkin onto his lap before reaching over and squeezing her hand softly. “We can have dinner with Mark any time.”

“I don't know.” She put her phone on the table beside her and let out a long sigh. “I don't want to overreact. That's what my mom and sister have been doing my whole life, and it never works out well for anyone involved. You can only cry wolf so many times before people stop believing. I just don’t want this to be the time the wolf actually shows up at the door.” She didn’t know how else to explain it.

Mark walked up and took the seat beside Jamie. “Did I miss something? You guys look upset.”

“No, Jamie's sister is just being dramatic as usual. She's just trying to figure out if it's more than just her normal cry for attention.” Alex picked up his menu, but didn't look at it. “Call her, baby. Then if we need to go, we can.”

“You're right. I'm not going to enjoy myself until I know she's okay.” Jamie pushed her chair back and picked up her phone. “I'll go make the call and be right back. Can you get me a tall glass of iced tea if the server comes, please?”

“Sure thing.” Alex glanced up and gave her a look that said he was worried about her.

She touched the side of his face and kissed him before walking off. The groan from Mark and funny comments that followed left her relaxing a little. Christine was a grown woman. A childish grown woman, but still... completely old enough to take care of herself.

Jamie pressed the button to call her sister, and walked out into the foyer of the busy restaurant. She pressed her fingers to her ear and listened as the call went to voice mail.

“Shit.” She turned and walked back out the front door, moving over to the side as a group of women walked in, dressed to impress. Some part of her wanted to lament over not looking more extravagant for Alex, but she forced it away. If he wanted a model in his life, he could have had one, but he obviously didn't. Alex Reid wasn't the type of man to settle.

She called her dad instead, grateful to hear his voice on the first ring.

“Hi, Pumpkin. What's going on?”

“Hi, Dad. I just wanted to check on Christine, and she's not answering her phone. Is she there with you? You never answered the text I sent you earlier.
