368 words today to start off Chapter Four. I'm struggling a bit with this scene, trying to get the balance right between Zack being concerned, and him coming across as too much of a brat. Ah, well, I can always fix that in the edits later.
Extract (Zack is complaining about the lack of messages from Rob):
“I didn't have any from him last night either.” Zack stared at his breakfast as if it was personally responsible for Rob's lack of communication.
“That's not like him.” Zoe sipped her tea. It was sweeter than she liked, as if Zack had originally planned to drink it himself. “You haven't had a falling out, have you?” Now she sounded like their Grandma.
“Of course we haven't.” Zack was indignant. “We never fall out. Rob's my Best Friend. We've been friends forever.”
