Chapter 6

“No, no. Please, don’t. I won’t tell anyone. Josiah, please, no.”

I opened my eyes. The room was dark, just as it was when Jack left. I grabbed my phone from the coffee table and checked the time. Three o’clock. I’d fallen asleep on the couch, Cooper lying on my chest, too, until I woke with a start from a dream. Actually, a nightmare. I jolted awake and Cooper took off for a peaceful, less jumpy place to sleep.

I’d dreamed of Agnes Hamilton. Her long hair falling from its beautifully styled up ‘do, tangling in the rope twisted around her neck. Her voice cracking as she cried, begging and screaming for help, pleading with Josiah. Oh my goodness, Josiah. Of course. Her fiancé. He’s the one. The one in black. The one who killed her.

Cooper kneaded my legs. I picked him up from my lap and set him on the small throw on the other side of the couch. “Agnes,” I whispered, as if she’d actually answer me. She wanted me to know, wanted me to see what happened to her. I knew it like I knew the sun would rise every day. I just didn’t know what I was supposed to do about it. “What can I do?”

Frustrated, I got up and walked to the kitchen with Cooper on my tail. I poured myself a glass of water, took my vitamins, shut off the light over the sink, and then shuffled to my room. Instead of doing my regular nightly ritual, I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth, and changed my clothes. I fell into bed, exhausted. I couldn’t stop thinking about Agnes Hamilton and her fiancé Josiah. My mind raced as my body begged for slumber, but it just wouldn’t come.

I watched the clock on my nightstand hit four, four-forty-seven, and almost every minute until six o’clock when it was time to start the day. I sat up, not at all prepared for what the day would bring, and not at all rested.
