Just as Kelly was about to call again, her phone rang with a call from Brianna.
"Ms. Harrison, I checked. Tiffany's not here, and it looks like her bed hasn't been touched; she probably didn't cback last night." A cold dread settled in Kelly's stomach. "Thanks, Brianna." That was all she managed to say as her fingers tightened on the phone.

After reassuring Brianna and dropping her off at class, William sat om in the quiet car for a long time. His phone finally buzzed, and he saw his mother's non the screen.
"Mom..." Joyce Anderson's voice c
through the phone. "Will, it's your birthday! Are you and Tiffany coming for dinner? I bought those big lobsters Tiffany loves, and your dad's taking the night off. It's been ages since I saw her. I've missed her!"
William felt a lump in his throat. It took him a while to say, "Mom, Tiffany ahv m We broke up."
