Virus Outbreak: He Left Me For His First Love

Synopsis

Four hours before the flight suspension notice went out, Damien Sloane sent me a WhatsApp message: [I'm working late tonight. Don't wait up for me.] Six hours later, the entire city went into lockdown. I called him, yet it went straight to voicemail. I opened SkyTravel Navigator. His name was listed on the passenger roster for UA587. The destination read Olianken. On the same flight, the seat right next to his belonged to Linnea Vale. She was in 12A, he was in 12B—one by the window, one in the middle, sharing an armrest. In the kitchen, the soup was still bubbling. Damien's mother, Chiara Sloane, poked her head out of the bedroom. "Why isn't Damien back yet? I'm starving." I turned off the stove. He wasn't coming back.
