Chapter 23
Unknown
Where are you? Are you ok?
Unknown
Jannie gave me your number. Don’t be mad at her. I just want to know if you’re ok.
Unknown
This is Laurin.
Laurin
Seriously, I just need to know you’re safe, that’s all. And where you are.
Laurin
So I know you’re safe. Not so I can stalk you or anything.
Laurin
That’s probably a stalker thing to say. You saw my bakery. You know I’m not going anywhere any time soon. I’m the mixer until we can replace the Hobart. My armsare gonna be so swole next time you see me.
Laurin
Was that awkward? That sounded awkward. Manon said it, and it stuck in my brain. Did you like my bakery? I know it’s not much, but did you like it anyway?
Laurin
Full disclosure I’m freaking out right now. I didn’t used to be a worrier, but then I had a daughter and all those times maman fretted that I’d driven my car into a tree bc I was an hour late came back to haunt me. You don’t need to say anything else, just tell me you’re ok.
Laurin
ok, Jannie says you rented a car and drove home and you’re there now. And this is the right number. How was the drive? Is there any damage to your place or anything? Let me know if you need any help.
Laurin
idk how I’d help you, but let me know if you do. Or if you don’t. Just respond to me.
Laurin
It’s been 4 days. This is ridiculous. Just say something already.
