Chapter Nine

What are you doing here? My brain asks the question, but my lips don’t move.

Why didn’t I put everything away and lock the drawer? When do I ever forget to do that?

If this is a joke that God is playing on me, then He got me good.

Audrey and I stare at each other for a long time.

Then she sets the papers down on my desk. She swallows. “I’m sorry,” she says.

Sorry for what? For not knowing she was getting involved with a schizo crazypants? For even talking to me in the first place?

“How did you get in here?” I ask. My level voice surprises me.

“Your mom.”

Mom never just lets people go upstairs. She must be super happy about Audrey coming over to bend her own rules like that.

I can’t think of anything to say. I wait for the head rush to begin, but it doesn’t. I am strangely calm.

Audrey glances down at the stack of lists. She looks back at me. “I’m sorry,” she says again. “I think I should leave.”

I stand, paralyzed and speechless, and watch her go.
