Part 3

Worried about Josh because it was clear something was badly wrong, but also worried about what it meant that he wouldn’t talk to her. He was clearly upset and she’d like to help but she can’t do that if he wouldn’t tell her what was happening.

She didn’t know what to do and questions just kept coming. Should she go looking for him? But where would she look she had no idea where he went. Why wouldn’t he talk to her? Should she push him to talk or should she wait until he’s ready? Who was it who called? Why did it upset Josh so much?
