"Focus Bryan!" The photographer called in irritation for what was probably the fiftieth time already that day. It was so unlike Bryan to be distracted during photoshoots, but he seemed so absentminded since he arrived at the studio that morning.
"Just give me a moment," Bryan told him before walking out of the stage. He signaled Mia over, "Have you heard from her yet?"
"Not yet," Mia said with a shake of her head, leaving a frown on Bryan's face.
"Okay," Bryan said with a nod before returning to the stage where his pictures were being taken. He didn't like that he was feeling so apprehensive over Sonia's sudden disappearance. He knew he ought to be glad that she had disappeared from his life the way he had wanted her to, but she had left without a proper goodbye and without demanding anything meaningful from him either, although she had taken the engagement ring with her, and he knew the ring would fetch her quite a sum.
