Chapter 259 A Scene

• Charlene finished up at work, left the research center, and returned home. When she finally checked her phone, she saw that Thorne hadn't replied to her message until more than an hour after she'd left for the center.
• His reply to the text she'd sent before heading out was nothing more than a curt, "Okay."
• Maybe it was because he'd already missed one of their meetings; apart from that single word, he hadn't called her once in the past two weeks.
