CHAPTER 60: The Vanishing

  Christain's POV

  I leaned against the side of my car, checking my watch for the third time in as many minutes. The sun had begun its slow descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the street in front of our office building. I couldn't help but smile, the excitement of the evening ahead filling me with anticipation.

  Tonight was special. It was our first night out together since Hannah finally decided to give our relationship a chance, and I had big plans for the evening.

  I had reservations at one of the finest restaurants in town, a place with candlelit tables, soft music, and the kind of ambiance that set the stage for something unforgettable. I even picked out a bottle of her favorite wine to go with dinner. It was all perfect.

  But as I glanced at my phone again, the smile faded slightly. It had been over twenty minutes since Hannah was supposed to meet me here, and there hadn't been a word from her. No text, no call. Nothing.
