My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1099

Cynthia’s side of the call was a mess. There was noise everywhere, some voices even sounded like they were shouting. Cynthia was out of breath, saying something to someone nearby, not even noticing that Emily had picked up.

Emily waited, then spoke calmly, “Hello, is everything okay?”

That seemed to snap Cynthia back to reality. Her voice rushed out, “Emily, I know you’re there. Tell me, is Tristan with you?”

“He’s not,” Emily answered.

Cynthia’s voice shot up, “That can’t be. None of us can find him. He has to be with you.”

So Tristan really hadn’t gone back to them?

Emily kept her tone steady. “Someone just came by and said he had something to do. I honestly have no idea where he is.”

Cynthia muttered, almost to herself, “That’s impossible. Then where did he go?”

Emily started to frown. “What’s going on? Is he missing?”

“Yeah,” Cynthia said, sounding worried. “We can’t find him anywhere. He wasn’t feeling well earlier, could barely walk straight. I figured he was drunk, so I took him back to a room. I went out to get him something for the hangover, but when I came back, he was gone. I just… I’m worried, you know? Wandering around like that, anything could happen.”

Cynthia paused, then pressed again, “Emily, you’re sure he isn’t with you?”

Emily’s frown deepened. “He’s really not. I’ll try calling him right now.”

Cynthia still sounded unconvinced, mumbling as she said, “Alright. Let me know if you hear anything.”

Emily hung up, already dialing Tristan as she stepped out of her room.

The call rang a few times, then went straight to voicemail. She closed her door behind her and stood there, scanning the quiet hallway, trying to guess where Tristan might have wandered off to.
