Jonathan’s gaze fell upon the empty chair, his handsome face as pale and cold as the icy
grips of winter.
He made his way to the table, where a tablet lay flickering with life. Its lights danced
weakly upon the wall,
thousands of images flashing by in rapid succession.
So, the video call he’d been on had been nothing but a pre-recorded facade.
