Every time his phone buzzed, he snatched it up immediately, only to be disappointed each time—no message from Beauty.
Frustration gnawed at him until he was practically vibrating with restless energy, tempted to hurl the damn thing against the wall.
Unable to bear it any longer, he called both Sarah and Drake.

Her words hit him like a lightning bolt.
How could he have forgotten about Hannah?
But the truth was, he'd never bothered to learn about Beauty's friends, let alone where that girl lived.
Hanging up, he immediately dialed Beauty's high school homeroom teacher—the only lead he had was that Hannah had been her classmate.
