Because after you've discovered a...

They suddenly cut off communication links with former loved ones and fade away with no reasons given.  The sudden disappearance leaves the abandoned ex confused, heartbroken and wondering often, "What did I do wrong?"

It was the call that caused her to be in the confused state she was. “Should I call him back and set up a meeting with him?” She asked herself as she ran fingers through her hair. “…wouldn’t that be dangerous?” She sighed, in her he...
