Chapter Fifteen

We climbed back into the car, both of us reluctant to leave the peaceful surroundings of the park and historical area by the river. It really was very beautiful here: the big old-growth trees, the lush green grass of the park areas, and the old houses that were all from the Gold Rush. We followed the narrow road past the old cemetery and turned back onto The Vineyard House property.

Even if I visited here repeatedly, I’d never get used to seeing the house. It held more secrets than either of us would ever be able to figure out. We drove up to the front of the house and parked where we had yesterday when we first arrived. It seemed so long ago, and it had only been a day. Something about this house seemed to bear down on us and quickly drove us both to mental exhaustion.

Neither of us had gotten much rest since we’d been here, and that only heightened the constant need to stay aware of what was going on at all times. It felt as though if we dropped our guard for one second, somehow the house would know and we’d once again be dodging broken glass—or worse.

I turned off the car and we both sat there, neither of us moving to get out, both of us looking up at the house. “We don’t have to stay, you know. We could go in and gather everything up and get the hell out of here and never look back.” I hoped he would agree with me, but I knew he wouldn’t.

He was hunched forward, still looking up at the house. A look on his face of both wonder and concern. “We have to stay.” He slowly pulled his eyes away from the house and looked me directly in the eye. “I can’t do this alone. I need your help. I don’t trust myself to not get overtaken again by one of the Chalmers. Please stay with me and see this through. I won’t ask you to do anything like this again. But please, do this for me.”

He turned in the seat and clutched my hand in his. It was clear to me that he meant every word he’d said. He didn’t need to ask; there was no way in hell I would let him stay here alone. I palmed the back of his head and pulled him to me, catching his lips in a possessive kiss that started rough and ended softly with me stroking his cheek. Jason’s eyes stayed closed as I rested my forehead against his. “There is nothing you could say or do that would make me leave you, Jason. I love you. We’re in this together, and no matter what happens tonight, I will make sure we make it out of here unharmed.”

He pulled back so he could meet my eyes then nodded. “We’ll look out for each other.” He echoed my thoughts exactly.

“We’ll go in, check the equipment, then go back to our room and listen to the audio recordings we’ve gotten so far from the EVP.
