Thats very true , Elizabeth said , and I could hear the excitement in her voice .

Take it easy tonight , I teased .

Dont spend all night scrolling social media .

Ill try not to , she said with a laugh .

Goodnight , Ella .

Goodnight .

We ended the call , and I placed my phone on the table before heading to the kitchen .

I decided to prepare something simple for dinner .

Normally , we would have eaten already , but Id been waiting for Alexander .

At this point , I thought it best to make something he could eat whenever he finally came upstairs , so I decided on sandwiches .

I wanted to be annoyed with him , but I had no idea what was keeping him so busy .

I was certain that if Alexander deemed it important , then it was .

Still , as the minutes ticked by , my worry grew .

And sorry that I cant stay .

What do you mean , you cant stay ? I asked , glancing at the clock .

Its nearly 10:00 p.m.

I know , he said with a nod .

But I just got a very important phone call something I have to take care of right away .

Some kind of emergency ? I asked , my concern rising .

Its nothing dangerous , is it ? Alexander shook his head .

Its nothing you need to be concerned about .

Well , I made food , I said uncertainly .

At least bring some with you .

Alexander started to argue , but I held up my hand to stop him .

You can at least take a sandwich , I said firmly .

He smiled , looking amused .

All right .

Thank you for cooking .

He disappeared into the kitchen for a moment and reemerged with the food Id prepared , wrapped in a paper towel .

As he prepared to leave again , he stooped and kissed me on the cheek almost absentmindedly .

Dont wait up for me , he said .

I dont know how long this is going to take , and its already late .

Just be careful , I replied , unease creeping into my voice , 12 Always , he said with a small smile before turning and heading back out into the night .

This wasnt entirely .

unexpected behavior .

The women who had come forward with complaints about Alexander had mentioned something similar that he would vanish in the middle of the night for hours , offering no explanation about where hed been or what hed been doing .

At the time , I hadnt understood how upsetting this behavior could be .

Now , as I sat there wondering where he was going in such a hurry , I found myself sympathizing a little more with his exes .

This was undoubtedly an odd habit one that made me question , yet again , Just how much I really knew about Alexander .

I didnt want to snoop into his business .

But at the same time , I couldnt help wanting to know what he was doing .

Was this about work ? The election ? The investigation into David or Dr.

McIntyre ? Alexander had a bad habit of keeping things from me things that were very much my business until he was absolutely certain the information was accurate .

That was probably what this was .

Still , something in my gut told me there was more to it , and I couldnt simply let it go .
