The ringing in his ears wouldn't stop. David stared at the text message again: "Running late. Meeting with my accountant." He'd been looking forward to seeing Maria all day, but lately, her excuses were piling up. He paced his apartment, the hardwood floors creaking under his weight.

This whole situation felt…off. He called her, his voice rough. It went straight to voicemail.
