Duck Laid Egg in Garden?

A mallard laid two eggs in our flowerbed. The next day she sat under our bird feeder with the male, but did not lay an egg and today we haven't seen her at all. Is there a chance she will return or likely she has abandoned her nest? How long before I know if she is not returning? I was so excited about the prospective brood, now I'm so sad she didn't come back.

She won't return to sit until she is done laying, if it is fertilized. If it isn't, she may not return. So, just leave it alone for several days and watch.
