Ryan's POV
Despite his best efforts to forget all about it, the strange phone call that Ryan had had with Vivian was bothering him. No matter what he did, it kept replaying in his head as the days passed.
Why had she sounded so out of it? The voice had been Vivian's, but it had been so devoid of warmth, of all of the joy that Ryan was used to when it came to her that he was worried. That worry was the reason why now that he had a bit of time to himself in between meetings, he was trying to reach out to her.
"Ring…ring,… ring,"
When the first call went unanswered, Ryan tried a second time, then a third. Realizing that if he carried on any longer, he would be crossing over into a creepy, stalker-ish territory that he did not wish to visit.
He stared at his phone, while on the outside he appeared calm on the inside, Ryan was shocked beyond belief.
