Today's OneWord: Mentioned

She hadn't mentioned to me that she was expecting Carlos to show up. He never did appear. We tried phoning his family, but the ringing just went on and on, like some sort of endless void of noise sucking my ear into the receiver. I tried texting him - no dice. Emily was sniffling now. I could tell she was getting nervous.

"Hey." I pulled her into a hug. "Hey, it's okay. He's probably busy. Maybe he forgot we were supposed to group up."
