"That lover of yours..." Cindy began to ask, understanding enough to lower her voice, "Hasn't he contacted you at all? How long has it been since he returned home?"
"Ugh..." Ezra frowned, realizing he had even forgotten to count the days, though it had been approximately a month. "He's been in Russia for about 4 weeks... yes, but before that, he informed me that his stay there was extended."
"Hm..." Maria rubbed her chin, her eyes narrowing, "and during those 4 weeks, he didn't call you, not even once?"
"He did call, it was only once... But he still managed to send a message."
"What kind of message?"
"He sent something like, 'Don't forget to eat, good night.' And..."
"And?"
Ezra hesitated to discuss this, especially since they were in the office, but he had already started speaking, so what could he do?
