"Why didn't you text me back! Why didn't you answer my calls?"
A whole day without contacting him scared her to death.
"Don't you know I'm afraid?"
Ethan Grant looked at the tearful Serena Sullivan, feeling both heartbroken and amused as he responded, "I was too busy during the day to find time to text you back."
He was genuinely busy, so much so that he only had a few bites on the plane, and now he was still a bit hungry.
"I also wanted to surprise you."
"This isn't a surprise, it's a scare!"
Serena retorted angrily and turned to head back into the house.
Ethan hurried to catch up with her; his surprise really frightened Serena.
"Serena."
He called out, but Serena, with her back to him, ignored him.
"I hurried to finish everything so I could see you sooner."
"After getting off the plane, all I could think about was seeing you, and I forgot to turn my phone back on."
While speaking, Ethan took out his phone to show Serena.
Indeed, the phone was off.
