All right, Jami had to admit she’d been a little aggressive. Yet she stewed over his snarky attitude all day Saturday and all through the night. By the time Cole arrived a little after eight on Sunday morning, she was ready to throw Isadora’s skillet at him.

She didn’t, but she still couldn’t forget what Andrea said. As she was leaving Easy Cheesy, Jami had leaned in close and told the girl not to worry about Cole since he was just being a poop. Andrea’s answer haunted her. Oh, it’s okay, I’m used to being ignored.

Nobody should get used to being ignored. Jami felt so strongly about it because she’d come from a family of drama queens where she had to misbehave to get noticed. Of course, she hadn’t misbehaved in any way that actually got noticed. She’d never been her own person around her family, merely an extension of their drama.

Was that why she’d allowed Dick Head and Leo to treat her, because she’d actually bought into her own insignificance in the scheme of things?

Isadora, wearing a shockingly bright purple pantsuit, opened the front door with a flourish and a gasp, as if she hadn’t one single idea who could be out there, though Jami had told her.

“Mr. Amory, we’re so glad you’re here.” Their savior, since neither Isadora nor Jami wanted to go up in the attic, together or alone.

He was all clean and woodsy-scented with a blue chambray shirt and black jeans that fit him in all the right places.

“Now I’m going to finish making breakfast”—Isadora hadn’t even started—“while Jami shows you the attic.”

But I’m not going up there. Not alone with Cole, at any rate. She hadn’t figured on having to accompany him. It was preferable facing the creepy devil thing by herself versus rooting around up there with Cole by her side. She didn’t trust herself alone with him, even as she reminded herself he’d been mean to Andrea.

Isadora, however, shooed them up the stairs with a flap of her hands. You’d never have known that forty-five minutes ago, she’d been close to tears after another of those calls from her son. Jami’d had a close-to-irresistible urge to grab the phone from Isadora’s hand and give the son a piece of her mind. Except that she really didn’t have a piece to spare at this point.

She climbed with Cole on her tail, his eyes boring a hole through her back. He hadn’t said a word, playing the strong silent type for Isadora.

“The attic entry is in the spare bedroom closet.” She turned at the top of the stairs. “You don’t have to do this, you know.”

He stopped with a tight grip on the banister as if he needed to be extra steady, or he didn’t know where else to put his hands. “I know I don’t.”

“Then why are you?”

Very low and soft, he said, “Because I’m not an asshole.”

Ah. So they were going to clear the air. “I don’t think you are, just that you acted like one.
