William paced the room, running his hand through his dark hair. “She said she got a call from one of Eva’s friends who said she was complaining about stomach pains and couldn’t get out of bed.

He’d been on the phone for twenty minutes, raising his voice, making demands, then trying to reach Eva, but his calls went straight to her voicemail.
