Later that evening, Jocelyn received a text from Alex, asking her if she’d heard from their dad. Jocelyn hadn’t, and when she called his phone, he didn’t pick up.
Luke was still in his bedroom. After returning Fluffer to his cage, she stood at Luke’s door, wondering if she should tell him where she was going. But then she decided against it.
She didn’t feel like seeing her husband right then, anyway.
She rushed to her dad’s, telling herself that more than likely he’d turned his phone off without realizing it. When she stepped inside the house, she had to turn on a light, it was so dark.
“Dad?” Jocelyn called. “Dad?” she repeated more loudly.
Then to her relief, she heard him reply, “In my bedroom!”
She found him in bed. Considering it was only six p.m., it was extremely early for him
