Melanie checked the time on her phone for what felt like the hundredth time, her fingers tapping on the arm of the hard plastic chair restlessly. The noise of the airport buzzed around her but all of it faded into the background as her eyes flicked once more to her screen. Still no message from Adam.
With a frustrated sigh, she tapped on his name and called him again. Just like before, the call didn't even ring twice before it was rejected. A generic voicemail message played, the same clipped tone telling her he was unavailable and would get back to her later. But he hadn't. Not all day.
And she was worried. Becasue he'd been so agitated and angry with Saira for using his child to manipulate him. They had not even tested any DNA or made any claims but already she'd been using the child.
Melanie bit her lip and wondered if she should call Saira or ask someone to find where she was staying.But then decided against it.
