Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 670

Elysia frowned, "I haven't been in touch, what's happened to him?"

Keaton's voice was heavy, "He's gone off the radar. Disappeared after leaving the pub and no one knows where to. We've all been looking for him, checked everywhere possible, but there's no sign of him."

Elysia began to worry, "Have you tried calling him?"

"Yeah, tried that. He's not picking up, no replies to texts either. He was in a bad mood today, we're all a bit concerned. Could you try reaching out to him?"

"…Alright, I'll let you know if I hear anything."

After hanging up, Elysia hurriedly dialed Tarquin's number, not even upset with him anymore.

After several unanswered calls, she sent him a message,

[Where are you?]

[Keaton and the others are looking for you, worried sick. Reply when you see this.]

After a long wait without a reply from Tarquin, she couldn't help but say,

[I don't have feelings for Keith, not one bit! Don't be upset over him!]

With no response, she continued to send messages,

[Don't frighten everyone. They're worried about you, and so am I. Let's pretend whatever happened at the pub tonight never did. Get in touch as soon as you see this.]

[…]

Elysia sent many messages, all sinking without a trace!

She clutched her phone, waiting until well past midnight.

Still no word from Tarquin, she was too anxious to sleep, her mind racing with all sorts of dreadful scenarios.

At one moment, she feared he might have encountered some trouble, or worse, been kidnapped.

Then she worried, with his mood so off, if he might have considered harming himself.

The more she thought, the more terrified she became, eventually calling Keaton to suggest involving the police.
