Chapter 159

• Anxiously pacing around his bedroom, Roth contemplated whether Tristan would attend the upcoming dinner, which was only two hours away. He picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts until he found Tristan's name. A loud exhale escaped him. If only things were as simple as they had been in the past, when he could just call Tristan and inquire about his dinner plans.
• There was a time when Roth and Tristan would exchange detailed texts throughout the day, sharing every aspect of their lives. But now? There was no way to know for sure.
• Without fully comprehending his actions, Roth scrolled up on his phone and stumbled upon the contact information for Private Investigator Brown. He pressed the green call button before he had even processed what he intended to say.
