CHAPTER 101 - Emergency Call

  (Avery’s Thoughts)

  I am still in bed when I am awakened by Jeff’s voice who seemed to be having an argument with someone over the phone.?

  I turn around and he notices me. He puts the phone down and sits beside me in bed. He embraces me and kissed me on the lips.?

  I see his brows furrowed so I know something’s wrong. I get up and scratch my eyes and then inquires about the phone call,?

  “Babe? Is everything okay? I woke up from your voice,” I utter.?

  “I’m sorry I woke you up, you should go back to sleep,” he says while smiling and still, worry is all I see in his eyes.?

  “Is everything okay? You look worried. Tell me,” I convince him.

  He sighs and hesitantly says, “Babe, I have to fly back to France, I am afraid I can’t join you for the signing session,” he sadly announces.

  “What happened?” I stand up and go to the bathroom. I wash my face and go back to where he is.?

  I sit on his lap and he embraces me even more. He looks me in the eyes.?
