Callan woke to the sound of his alarm. He reached for it blindly and snoozed it.
He started to go back to sleep, but he came awake again when it occurred to his foggy brain that Emily wasn't in his arms and her body wasn't pressed against his as usual.
He blinked, and his brows pulled together when he saw the other side of the bed was empty.
"Em?" he called softly, assuming she was in the bathroom.
But there was no answer.
He pushed himself up and sat on the bed as he picked up his phone again.
The time was just five minutes past six in the morning so he guessed she had woken up earlier and was probably busy writing or reading.
His thoughts drifted to the previous night, and he glanced at his phone's screen again.
There were no missed calls or messages from Jamal or Stefan.
His frown deepened as he wondered why.
He thought about calling Jamal again, but decided to go check on Emily first to make sure she was fine before doing so.
