She Was Never the Real Reason
"What's going on? The date was set! She didn't come, and cancelled the wedding? What does she mean?"
Seeing his son's equally surprised expression, her anger intensified.
She knew Jane and Dominic had been friends for twenty years, and she'd sensed Jane's affection for him; she'd approved of her as his daughter-in-law.
But Jane, the bride, hadn't shown up, and had cancelled two weeks prior, without anyone knowing!
"Call Jane! Ask her if she still wants to get married!"
Dominic, jolted awake, pulled out his phone to call Jane.
His hand trembled as he dialed. But she was already on a flight to Chrysalis; the call went straight to voicemail. A cold, mechanical voice was all he heard.
