Tucker

“You can’t keep going like this, Tuck. You have to forgive yourself.” The sympathy in Arden’s voice only fuels my anger.

“I can’t.” She’s long since learned to ignore my bark.

“She will pick up on it when she comes out of her own grief, and she’s going to be convinced it’s directed towards her.” This is the third time my sister has said as such in this one phone call. “You’re alone with Windsor tomorrow, are you not?” I grunt my reply. “She’ll know you’re angry. It’ll fester between the two of you, and Tuck, I love you, but I know you; you’ll wind up saying something you’ll regret.”

Scrubbing my hands up and down my face, I spin my chair to stare out at the city I’ve loved living in my entire life, wishing for the first time that I was anywhere else but here.

“We had her, Arden, and now I think we’ve lost her. The grief consumes her, and we don’t know what the fuck to do.” How do you help a woman who has had such a profound loss and not make it worse by saying or doing the wrong thing?

“Tucker.” Arden sighs my name like she’s said it a dozen times and I’m not listening to her. “You be there for her, wipe away her tears. Hold her while she sleeps. Listen when she speaks. Windsor is a strong woman, and it’s only been a few days; all she needs is time. This wasn’t you guys or her fault. A madman attacked her.”

Speaking of which, I’ve been holding onto a folder with possible suspects from my brother-in-law Boston for almost an hour. He stopped by first thing this morning and had it ready for me. I haven’t been able to bring myself to look because if it’s someone after me and Tanner and using our woman as a target, it’ll gut me.

“I’ll talk to you later, Arden. Love you.” After I hang up, the office is filled with silence. I’ve shut the phones off for the week, and everything is being redirected to Jessica in Human Resources since she’ll know where to direct calls.

My phone beeped earlier with a text from Tanner, but I haven’t looked yet. If Windsor is worse, I don’t know how I’ll handle it. Yeah, it’s the coward’s way out, but I can’t help it if I want her better already.

Physically, she’s been given a clean bill of health. Mentally, it is a different story. We’ve encouraged her to speak to someone professionally, but I’m unsure if she will. I’d like her to; hell, I’d go with her. Until we were told the consequences of her attack, I had never given children much thought. Now, I grieve for that same child. I ache inside my chest, like an itch I can’t scratch, and there’s nothing I want more than to feel as though I can breathe again. We’ve stalled, the three of us, drowning in our own suffering.

At the sound of the elevator dinging,
