Thomas arrived as soon as he could after Greta's text. He left Ronan and Blue in charge of the shop; Greta kept insisting that as hard as he worked, he deserved time off, even if it just came in moments rather than entire days. He was beginning to think she had something there.

He smiled when he saw Greta, but the look shifted to slight concern when he realized he couldn't see Saoirse.

"Where's our dear girl gotten to?"

Greta didn't seem terribly concerned, so he tried to calm down.
