Valerium.
Landon Hawthorne tried to contact Aria Sterling every day, but he never succeeded.
Before he knew it, a whole week had passed since he'd last been able to reach Aria Sterling.
He knew Aria Sterling turned her phone off when she was busy with important matters, so at first, he hadn't been too worried, knowing how capable she was.
But as more and more days went by without any word from Aria Sterling, Landon Hawthorne grew increasingly anxious.
Every time he dialed Aria Sterling's number, filled with hope, he was met with disappointment. The first day, the message said her phone was off; later, it said she was out of the service area.
Landon Hawthorne's heart grew heavy.
Even with the good news he received daily about his older brothers' recoveries, Landon Hawthorne couldn't bring himself to feel any joy.
The more time passed, the more his anxiety grew.
He even found himself frequently distracted at work.
