Georgia Thorne was unhappy. She couldn't reach Elliot Sheridan, and she had no idea where he'd gone.
She put Nina to bed, but Elliot still hadn't returned.
She filled the bathtub with hot water. Soaking in the bath, she wondered if he had even seen her.
'How could he not have seen me? I'm a whole person, right there in the bed. He'd have to be blind.'
Too bad Elliot Sheridan wasn't blind. On the contrary, his eyesight was excellent.
That left another possibility: he was pretending not to have seen her.
'He must still be angry about my training.'
The water gradually grew cold. Georgia's mind was in turmoil, racing with possibilities but settling on no answers.
Lost in her own world, she was completely unaware of Elliot outside.
When Elliot returned and pushed open the bedroom door, he didn't see Georgia.
The room was silent. Nina was already asleep. The only light on was in the bathroom.
