Growing restless

But she never heard from Ralph from that day onward. As the weeks passed without any calls from her friend, she grew restless. Her numerous calls the following month to Ralph’s phone went straight to his voicemail. By October, Ralph’s phone had been out of service. Days later, his phone number had been re-issued to a new subscriber.

Missing but not reported

Despite worrying for Ralph, Summer didn’t report him missing. She had been unable to contact him for nearly two months now, but she wasn’t certain if he was missing. According to her, Ralph had disappeared in the past, but he had always re-appeared somehow.
