"You left. I went back to the Barns to dream." Ronan's still not quite looking at Adam. "Bryde told me I was the most expensive thing he ever saved. He said I had to save Hennessy, so I did. Jordan asked me to prove how good a dreamer I was, so I did. Then Matthew called me a liar, because he found out that I dreamed him. Then I dreamed of Bryde again and woke up to Hennessy calling me. Took her to Lindenmere, tried to fix the problem. Instead, we had to call Bryde."
None of this is going to make sense to Adam, and some small part of Ronan is aware of that. He's trying to put it all in order before he fills in the gaps, though. He hasn't taken the time to put the events of what happened into their proper order. At the time, everything was happening so quickly that he didn't have time to process it. Once he ended up on the train, he just didn't think about it because he didn't want to touch the idea that Adam wasn't okay.
"The Lace nearly killed us and that was before Declan called and told me Matthew was in danger. So I asked Lindenmere for something. It gave me Sundogs. You didn't pick up your phone. Jordan didn't pick up her phone. Nobody was picking up. I thought you were all dead, but the Sundogs did their job. Matthew and Declan were fine, so was Hennessy. Made Gansey and Sargent call Mr. Gray, who gave up the information that there's a government-backed group hunting Dreamers."
Technically, he hasn't reached the part of the story where he met Bryde yet. Ronan trails off all the same, though, because the thing he's still stuck on is looking down at his phone to see sixteen text messages in a row, all marked unread. Was Adam not responding because Adam was already here? But if that was the case, how had Ronan been here for three months when Adam had only just arrived?
None of it makes sense. Maybe it's better not to explain that to Adam.
