  56. About Boldwood Books

‘Still no word from Scott?’ Drew sat down on the wooden coffee table, eased the remote control out of my hand, and switched the TV off.

I shook my head. ‘Not since this text from him on Sunday morning.’ I tapped in my password then thrust my phone at Drew so he could read Scott’s text and my reply. ‘Why wouldn’t he respond to this? I was being supportive, wasn’t I?’

✉︎ From Scott

Adam’s wife had twins yesterday. Boy and girl. 8 weeks early and not doing so well. Feel a bit helpless xx

✉︎ To Scott

Oh no! Poor little mites. Hope they’re fighters. Did he make it home in time for the births? Please don’t feel helpless. There’s nothing you can do in these circumstances except be there if he needs you. If you can’t make it down next week because Adam needs to be with his family, I completely understand. We can talk wedding plans when things settle a bit. Thinking of you. I love you always and can’t wait to be your wife xx

‘Obviously I tried to call him as soon as I got his text to make sure he was okay, but it went to voicemail so I sent that text instead. Haven’t heard a peep out of him since. It’s so unlike him. What if something’s happened to him?’

Drew handed my phone back to me. I could almost hear his mind ticking.

‘You definitely didn’t have an argument before he left the races?’

‘No! I’ve already told you that. I walked him to the exit and he told me that he was expecting a busy week at work so he wouldn’t see me till next week. We agreed to go for a meal and talk about the wedding. He said he wanted to elope and I told him I didn’t.’

‘And you definitely didn’t fall out about that?’

‘He realised it was a daft idea because of how close I am to Mum, Logan and Karen.’

‘And me.’

I gave Drew a half-smile. ‘Yes, and you. I couldn’t possibly get married without you there.’

‘I should think not! Could his phone have been stolen?’

‘It’s possible. But he could have rung me at the museum. Or emailed me.’

Drew ran his hand across his stubble. ‘You’ve tried him on Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? LinkedIn? WhatsApp?’

‘He doesn’t do social media.’

‘He’s not on any sites? What’s wrong with him? How does he survive?’ For someone who had a profile on every form of social media going, Drew’s shocked reaction didn’t surprise me.
