Chapter 88

• Camila sat anxiously in the room, her mind filled with worry and uncertainty. It had been hours since she bid farewell to her husband, Adrian, at the airport. Ever since he boarded the plane, she had been eagerly awaiting a phone call or message from him, a reassurance that he had arrived safely at his destination. But as the minutes turned into hours, and her attempts to reach him went unanswered, a sense of unease began to settle in her heart.
• Picking up her phone, Camila dialled Adrian's number, her fingers trembling with each press of the buttons. The phone rang, but there was no response from the other end. She tried again, hoping that maybe there had been a temporary glitch, but once again, it went straight to voicemail. A knot tightened in her stomach, and her worry deepened.
• As Camila paced back and forth across the room, her eyes fixed on her phone, her thoughts ran wild. What could have happened? Was Adrian okay? The image of his smiling face at the airport flashed before her eyes, intensifying her concern. They had always kept in constant contact, even during short trips, and the silence now felt deafening.
