Jedao gave it time. Life is strange, and life is long, and certainly there are more distractions here than on the barge. When it became obvious Quentin wasn't coming, Jedao checked back at his hotel, to find him missing there as well.

There's a message, already waiting, just in case, hoping horribly that it's only him: If you've changed your mind, I hope you know that of course I respect your decision, but I will always value your company.

Less passive aggressive than you don't need to avoid me. The temptation to include a threat for anyone else reading was unprofessionally strong, but he didn't. Not sense warning anyone. A new reply comes almost immediately.

Thank you for letting me know. Is Mister Coldwater awake now?
