Blair's pov
As the last person departed, I grew increasingly frustrated, scanning the empty space for any sign of Sinclair. But he was nowhere to be found. My patience was wearing thin, and annoyance began to simmer beneath the surface.
I pulled out my phone and booked a ride home, already mentally preparing myself for the confrontation when I finally tracked him down.
I tried calling him, but it rang only once before going straight to an unavailable line. The abrupt disconnect only added to my irritation. I tried again, but the result was the same.
Logically, I knew I had no reason to worry. Sinclair was more than capable of taking care of himself. He'd proven that time and again. Yet, despite my rational thinking, a nagging sense of uncertainty lingered. Where was he? And why hadn't he bothered to let me know he was leaving?
