“Not yet, I was just about to,” Grace replied.
Then she asked, “Have you eaten?”
“I’ve already had lunch!” Suzy forced a light tone.
“Grandma, why haven’t you eaten yet? Doesn’t Diana usually get hungry around noon?”
Diana was known for eating very little in the morning and usually got hungry early. If she were home, lunch would typically be prepared earlier.
The moment Grace mentioned she hadn’t eaten yet, Suzy already suspected Diana wasn’t there.
But she still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking today might just be an exception. After all, people don’t follow routines all the time.
“She’s not home. She left early this morning. I’m not sure what she’s been up to lately. She’s barely been around. When I ask, she doesn’t tell me anything and acts all secretive. Honestly, I’m starting to think she’s seeing someone.”
“Why do you think that?” Suzy asked, doing her best to sound casual, not wanting Grace to pick up on anything unusual.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Grace said with a laugh.
“It’s just that girls usually only act this way when they’re dating—leaving early, coming home late. Otherwise, Diana, my little homebody, wouldn’t suddenly turn into such a social butterfly.”
“Maybe she is,” Suzy replied, keeping her tone light.
After a few more words, Suzy found an excuse to end the call, not wanting to raise Grace’s suspicions.
Once she hung up, she immediately called Allen. “Track Diana’s location for me.”
“Diana?” Allen responded, his voice instantly concerned.
“Don’t tell me she’s been kidnapped again.”
The last time Diana disappeared, she was taken unexpectedly.
