Chapter 69

Ben

I stared at my phone, feeling both annoyed and frustrated. Angela wasn't answering my calls, and when I texted, all she said was that she was away and didn't know when she would be coming back.

Fuck!

My restless mind thought back to that last time I saw her in her apartment. Maybe I'd gone too far, making a spare key without her permission and letting myself into her home when she wasn't there. She had been acting strange, though. I didn't think it was all in my head that she was ignoring me, and it was unlike her to blow up at me the way she did just because I was reading her book without permission.

I didn't think it was enough to warrant her being so mad at me, though. Something must have happened before she came home to make her suddenly want to back away from me. She'd been so happy when she left the hotel that weekend, everything was still okay, so something else must have happened.
