I was thankful for the brief distraction my baby shower had offered. I hadn’t realized just how much stress and aggravation my body was undergoing until I took that much-needed break for myself.
Although I was able to put my thoughts about my brother and his condition at ease for the time being, my mind proceeded to shift toward James. Why had he rushed out of the house earlier?
He mentioned something about running a few ‘errands’...But in all the time I’ve gotten to know him, James wasn’t someone who went out to run basic errands. Normally, there was someone else who would take responsibility for him so he could remain focused on his work.
I knew there had to be a legitimate reason for his disappearing so promptly before. And I was determined to find out what that reason was.
