"She never mentioned anything to you?" Ryan asked as he drove towards my old house.

I shook my head, "No. At the wedding she seemed totally fine and happy. I texted her the night we arrived at the resort. Nothing since then."

Ryan sighed and drummed his thumbs against the steering wheel, "Lo doesn't seem the type to flee like this. She seemed okay with who we both are."

"Everyone has a breaking point. Maybe something happened to make her want to leave. Take a break," I reasoned out loud. 

After another 5 minutes of comfortable silence, we pulled up my old driveway. Greyson's car was the only vehicle there. The tension ramped up super high as soon as Ryan turned off the vehicle. Almost simultaneously Ryan and I let out sighs and got ready to go towards the house.

"Feels like yesterday I was coming here and oddly flirting with you to get your attention."

I broke into a smile and the tension was cut in half, "You definitely got my attention. Without a doubt."

Before Ryan could fire back Greyson quickly opened the door, "Jaxx! I don't know what the hell happened."

My hands went up in a universal 'calm down' motion, "Okay, let's get in the house and we will figure it all out."

Once we all got in the house Greyson began walking around the house. Ryan took the lead, "Grey, what happened? Walk us through it."

"We got into a small argument about me working so much. I agreed with her but I didn't and don't have a solution. I went to work and tried to text her a few times. She never answered me. Once I got home Lo's car was already gone. On the table was this note," by the end he began panicing again.

I looked around and the note was still there:
Grey,
I need a break. I don't know if I will be back when you are there. This is a lot for me. Please don't look for me.
Lo.

"Fuck," I whispered as I gave the note to Ryan for him to look it over.

Ryan whispered something similar to what I did. After putting the note back down, he went to check the house as I talked with Greyson, "Why didn't you tell us about this?"

"I thought I would come off as bitching. You and Ryan are making it all work..."

I gave him an odd look, "Ryan and I are from this world. Plus, we have our own litany of problems. Trust me. You should have said something, we would have moved things around and/or given you some days off."

Sighing heavily, Greyson slammed down on a kitchen chair, "What if she doesn't come back?"

Before I could reassure him, my cellphone came alive again. I answered immediately, "What is going on?"

"I don't really know," Lo sniffed loudly. "I might have definitely fucked up."

"No, you didn't. But this is heading that way." 

Lo sighed and sniffed again, "What should I do Jaxx? I don't know if I can do all this."

"I know. But you should have told me before it got this far. Also, I think you should come home and talk it all out. I can't make you do anything though," I reasoned watching Greyson and Ryan talking amongst themselves.

Taking a deep breath Lo agreed, "Okay. I'm going to go home. I shouldn't just walk away. I really do love him."

I smiled, "I know you do. And he loves you. He called me freaking out when he found your note. I'm at the house." 

Lo gasps, "You came during your honeymoon? Oh my God."

"It's alright. Ryan and I were going stir crazy at the resort anyone. When will you be here?"

"Already here."
