Once Bryce was back in his car, he listened to Tessa's voicemail. She sounded cranky, stressed, and like she had barely woken up. Not a good combination. It made sense though considering the voicemail was timestamped at 4:07 AM.
"Hey, Bryce. Remember that family stuff I told you about? Something happened and I have to leave sooner than expected. I won't be contactable for a few days at least but I promise I'll reach out to you as soon as I can. Don't worry about me too much. Bye!"
Well, it was a bit late for that. He wished he would have turned on the data much earlier in the day so the voicemail could come through. It would have saved a lot of anxiety and prevented him from wasting everyone's time at Juice Jubilee.
Bryce had already known he wouldn't be able to contact her for a few days this upcoming week but it sucked that time got extended. It had been hard enough being apart over Christmas break and at least then she was able to text and call.
