Dear Abby: Roommate's vanishing act had me ready to call the police

A college junior sharing an apartment with Wendy and Lauren reports a distressing incident involving Wendy. After attending a bluegrass band performance, Wendy drove the narrator home at 11 p.m. but failed to return, staying out all night without notice. This unannounced disappearance left the narrator exhausted, furious, and worried sick, nearly leading to a police call. Wendy later laughed off the distress she caused, creating tension between the roommates despite their previously positive relationship.
