CHAPTER SIXTEEN

JAX

I march into the office wing of the house, pulling out the keys in my pocket and unlocking the library door. I've been waiting all morning for Cassie to finally leave so I can sneak in here. I step inside and inhale the scent of books and dust. It's dark in the large room, and I march across the parquet floor toward the long, heavy curtains that fall to the floor. I open them wide and sunlight streams into the room. I cough; the fabric has been holding onto dust. I make a mental note to talk with Susan, the head of staff here, to make sure someone is coming in here regularly to clean. I'm sure they can at least do a cursory dusting when Cassie is gone.

I open the other two sets of curtains and turn around, satisfied that overall the room looks pretty great. I pull off the canvas covering my favorite leather armchair. The room comes back to life. I sit down in the seat and reach under the chair. There's a wooden drawer that is built into the bottom of it; I pull out another key and unlock the drawer. My sketchbook and charcoal pencils are still in there, stashed exactly where I left them. I sit for a moment, tracing my fingers across the rough fabric cover, enjoying the scratching sound as the fabric catches the callouses on my hands.

I stare up at the ceiling at the brass chandelier and then close my eyes, trying to calm myself.

The look on Tessa's face when she'd come back from her little phone call had enraged me. I clench my fists at the memory. I want to fucking punch the shit out of Paul. I'd gleaned enough from Tessa's reaction to know that he wasn’t going to make it out here before I'd even asked her. I have a good feeling I know what he’s doing instead of coming out here. I spend another moment mulling over my options and then reach into my pocket to make a phone call. It's one I've kept myself from making for months.

It rings twice. "Yeah?" says the voice at the other end of the line.

"Shawn, it's me. I need you to do the thing, okay?"

There's barely a moment of pause before he replies. "Consider it done. I'll be back with you before the end of the day."

I hang up the phone.

What have I just done?

I pull headphones out of my pocket and jam them into my ears, scrolling through the music on my iPhone until I find the loudest, angriest playlist on there. I crank it up to full volume, ignoring my phone's warning that I'm going to lose my hearing in five minutes or whatever the fuck it’s saying to me.

I open my sketchbook and flick through the drawings, finally landing on a clean page. My fingers are flying before I even tell them what to do. Within a few minutes, I realize what I'm drawing.

Who I'm drawing.

I keep going, my fingers flying across the paper.
