Chapter 30

• Azalea:
• I groggily opened my eyes and blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the subdued light of the hotel room as I remembered that Ryan and I had slept in this room last night. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I eagerly looked around, expecting to see Ryan already awake but he was nowhere to be found.
• Confusion slowly turned into mild concern as I sat up, glancing towards the bathroom door. Maybe he just woke up earlier than me and went for a quick walk, I reasoned, trying to calm the uneasiness gnawing at my gut.
