Chapter 11

Debbie blinked, trying to assimilate the implications of such a thought. But surely the authorities would have taken charge if there had been the least hint of foul play. And there were all those witnesses—there must have been at least 25 people watching. Yet the paper had carried not a single suggestion of anything irregular.

Well, Ryland had been there. She would ask him what he thought when he got back from Salem—if he called her as he said he would. The mosquito landed on her neck. Debbie slapped it, squashing blood all over her fingers. The sight made her shiver as it blended with remembered red stains on the sand.

When she picked up the newspaper she saw what it had covered. Byrl, as usual, had left a note saying not to wait up for her. She should write one note and put it out every evening, Debbie thought. After all, they all said the same thing. But of more interest was a letter from Angie. Debbie wanted to give her full attention, so she set it aside for a minute while she drew a nice hot bath. She would probably have to read between the lines to determine how Angie really felt about her pregnancy. Debbie wanted to be sure her sister was sure. All she had ever wanted was the best for Angie. Debbie would do anything—she had done everything—for her sister’s happiness. Nothing must spoil it now.

Debbie sank back in the hot, bubbly water and opened Angie’s letter. After reading only a few lines and glancing at the border filled with hasty sketches of hearts, flowers, and smiles, she knew the letter had been written in a state of euphoria. Angie’s joy simply leapt off the page as she told in great detail about her new maternity clothes, their plans for the baby, what Ron said, what the doctor said, how she planned to decorate the nursery …

“… Tell Byrl hi for me. How do you like living with a celebrity?

Love from your fat sister,

Angie”
