Calls to him keep going to voice-mail, so just imagine how pissed I am right now!The only reason I'm not riled up is because Khadijah kept her promise and has been sending me pictures with Azair. Zach nudges me, drawing my attention away from my phone. As I look up, my eyes lock with Ramon's and he gives me a sheepish grin.
