Chapter 75 - Reconciliation

Ember's Pov

The call to Paris went through quickly, and I heard his voice before I could actually reconsider my choices,

"Ember? Ember, oh thank God. I've been trying to reach you for ages." I sighed and closed my eyes before saying anything, and I suppose I had taken too long to respond because he soon sounded frantic,

"Ember? Are you there? Could you please say something?"

"Paris." I finally said and sighed,

"Thank God. I was beginning to fear you calling me by mistake."

"no, no. It's not a mistake." I said and ran my hand through my hair.

"I was surprised to come into the meeting today and not find you there. Bella told me you've been unwell, and I guess you haven't exactly been reachable for me to confirm what might actually be the matter."
