The Girl He Left Behind Chapter 02

The Girl He Left Behind Chapter 02

I was supposed to go to the police station to file a missing person report today.

Now, I changed my mind.

Instead, I bought myself some snacks and treated myself to a luxurious spa.

By the time I got home, it was dark.

The lights were off, and I thought Caspian had left.

I had just stepped out of my shoes when arms slid around me from behind.

I stiffened. “Have you been drinking?”

Caspian didn’t answer directly.

“What did you do today? You didn’t pick up my calls.”

“Sorry, I didn’t check my phone.”

“Any leads on Evan?”

“Sigh, nothing.” My tone was full of regret.

Caspian tightened his arms around me, his breath warm against my neck.

“It’s my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on taking him mountain climbing, he wouldn’t have gone missing.”

He sounded truly repentant.

—If his warm tongue hadn’t been grazing my earlobe.

Caspian Rhodes was Evan’s best friend.

After Evan vanished, they played good cop/bad cop.

Caspian played the part of the “repentant one.”

But Evan probably had no idea how uniquely his best friend repented.
