I stood outside Lawson Customs for several minutes, staring down the road where Charlotte's car had disappeared.
The celebration continued behind me, but I barely heard it anymore.
Something was wrong. I didn’t know what it was, and that uncertainty bothered me more than I wanted to admit.
Jace was still inside with everyone else, and for a moment, I thought about telling him everything.
The baby. The property. Charlotte leaving but there were too many things I had been holding inside.
My hand drifted toward my stomach.
I had promised myself I would tell Jace as soon as he came home.
He was home now and I should have been running toward him with the news.
Instead, I was standing outside the garage wondering where my sister had gone.
I took out my phone but Charlotte didn’t answer.
