Texas Oilman's Bride (Mail Order Bride Series)
“ After the second day Laura was absent from work, Jonathon began worrying. He knew she wouldn’t want to talk to him, so he didn’t attempt to call. He didn’t even know whether she had a phone. He decided to take a day off from work, knowing he wouldn’t be missed.
He knocked on her door, standing to the side, so she couldn’t see him through the peephole. She didn’t open the door, instead, asking the identity. After hesitating, he said, “Laura, it’s Jonathon. I have to talk to you. Please open the door.”
“No! Please leave. I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Laura, please open the door. I promise not to come close. Please?”
He heard the safety chain being removed and the door opened. She stood there, eyes bloodshot, and hair unruly. “What do you want?” she asked in a voice as cold as ice.
“I was… am worried about you. No one has heard from you or anything, Bill wouldn’t tell me anything.”
