Jenny sent over a large version of that picture.

Rebecca: [Yes, it’s me.]

Jenny: [Oh my gosh! Where have you gone? Who posted this? Who are you traveling with?]

Rebecca: [It’s our dance academy’s touring troupe. They’re performing across Europe, and I’ve joined them to experience it firsthand.]

Jenny: [This is bad. Vance is going to lose it. Actually, he already has.]

Rebecca checked their group chat, but there was nothing unusual. No one was discussing it.

Jenny: [Stuff like this wouldn’t be in the main group. The guys have their own side chat. They’ve come to me with questions.]

“Take it easy,” Catherine consoled him. “She might just be feeling cooped up at home and decided to get

out for a bit of adventure.”

“Adventure? With her leg in that condition? And ran off with another man without telling me? I already promised to go with her in a few days.” Vance unleashed a torrent of frustration. 1

Then he noticed Catherine’s wounded expression and realized he had misdirected his outburst.

“I’m sorry. It’s not aimed at you. I’m just…” he faltered.

At last, he understood the source of his persistent anxiety over the past few days. The pieces had fallen into place.
