“Is Sylvie on the call too?”

“Put me on speaker.”

Jarrod tapped the phone and switched to speaker mode.

Sylvie paused.

Lately, Joseph had barely been in touch. Even when she messaged him about something, it was rare for him to reply. He seemed distant, almost cold.

She tried to convince herself that it wasn’t intentional—he was probably just swamped at work.
