Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 4

Lyanna and Sarah went to the car and were just about to drive away, but then Sarah got a call. "Who is it?", Lyanna asked. "It's my husband, I have to answer," Sarah said. "Yes please answer it," says Lyanna. Sarah answers and hears her worried husband talking to her. "Saar where are you? Normally you are always home by now," her husband says worriedly. "Sorry I forgot to tell you I had another meeting. I'll be home in an hour," Sarah says. "Okay, next time just let me know you'll be home later," says her husband. "Will do honey," says Sarah. "Then I'll see you in a minute," says her husband. "See you soon," says Sarah. Then Sarah hangs up. "You have a meeting?", Lyanna asks. "He thinks so now. But I had to make something up anyway, I'm never home later", Sarah says. "What are we going to do now?", Lyanna asks. "We don't have to change our plans, just have a little less time," says Sarah. "Well drive then," says Lyanna.Lyanna and Sarah drive off and find a quiet spot to explore the back seat. They are having a great time. They both wanted this not to have to stop. But then after an hour they have to leave. Sarah takes Lyanna to the train station and then also goes home.

The next day, Sarah arrived back at school. But Sarah didn't know where Lyanna was. She texted her, but she didn't respond. Sarah thought it was very strange. When Lyanna doesn't come to school, she always tells her. After a while, Sarah decided to just go to class. When she went to class, she still had a strange feeling. After class, she called Lyanna anyway just to be sure. Sarah called Lyanna, but it went straight to voicemail. Sarah wasn't too sure what to do next. She knew Lyanna often went with another teacher on the train, so she went to ask him. "Hello, do you happen to know where Lyanna is?", Sarah asked. "No I haven't heard from her. She wasn't at the station this morning either," says the teacher. "Okay thanks," says Sarah. Sarah took another look at Lyanna's schedule and saw that all her classes were off except one. She emailed Lyanna if she wanted to come over to her after her class. Only as she expected, she didn't respond. She taught two more classes and then stayed in her classroom for a while. She kept looking at her phone. "Did she respond? Is she calling me now?" But she hadn't.

Just as Sarah was about to leave, she saw someone walking toward her. "Sarah I heard you ask where Lyanna was right?", a teacher asked. "Yes I did. Do you know?", Sarah asks. "Well she didn't come to school today. She was just supposed to teach today, but she didn't come," says the teacher. "That's not something Lyanna would do," says Sarah. "I don't get it either. I haven't known her very long, but she's not a person who just doesn't show up without saying anything," says the teacher. "Exactly. I've been trying to call her all day, and I also app her all the time, but she doesn't answer or respond," says Sarah. "Annoying. We'll see if she's there tomorrow. Will you happen to be at school tomorrow?" the teacher asks. "No I'm free tomorrow, but if she's there I might stop by," says Sarah. "Okay. I just hope she comes again tomorrow. We're not used to this from her," says the teacher. "I'll just go get my things and go home then," says Sarah. "Then I'm going to go too," says the teacher. "Thanks for saying that. I really appreciate that," says Sarah. "You're welcome," says the teacher.

Sarah cleans up the classroom and then goes home. When she is in the car, she tries to call Lyanna again. Then she suddenly hears a ringing tone from someone. She looks in the back seat and there is her phone. "Oh no," Sarah thought. She didn't know what to do. Nor did she know where she was at the moment. She decided to call her husband to say she had to take something to a co-worker which meant she would be back a little later. Actually, it was taking quite a long time, but her husband would think it odd if she said she was going to be gone for a long time. Then she could return Lyanna's phone. She drove up to her house and rang the doorbell. A moment later, a man answered the door. "Hello sir, I've come to return something," Sarah said. Behind the man, Sarah heard someone shout, "Who is that?""Someone coming to return your phone," said the man. "Did someone find my phone?", asks Lyanna. Lyanna approaches the door and then sees Sarah standing there. The man looks at Lyanna and has a feeling she knows Sarah. "Do you know her?", the man asks. "This is a colleague of mine," says Lyanna. "True. I'm Sarah," says Sarah. "Thanks for bringing it back Sarah. Would you like a drink?", the man asks. "No, that's okay," says Sarah. "A drink, to thank you," says the man. 'Okay," says Sarah.
