“Trust me. I know what I’m doing.”

He stood so quickly that I took a step back. He was wearing that strange T-shirt again—the one with the cartoon outline of a man’s profile.

“All right,” I said. “Who is that on your shirt? Another film director?”

He sighed. “Seriously? It’s Alfred Hitchcock.”

The name sounded familiar.

“Rear Window?” Julian said. “Dial M for Murder? How about Psycho?”

He looked like a psycho in the glow of my flashlight, but I held back from saying so. “Seems like I’ve heard of those movies.”

“People called Hitchcock the Master of Suspense. He made all sorts of spooky movies, but he never actually made a ghost film.” Julian lifted the backpack and slung it over his shoulder. “I don’t want to turn on my headlamp until we get inside. You go ahead—I already unlocked the door.”

“You’re going to give me that key back when we’re done tonight, right? I keep forgetting to ask for it.”

“Of course you’ll get it back. Did you think I was going to steal it?”

He stood on the top step with his arms crossed, as if he was trying to hold himself together. Maybe his dad had been right to ask him about his meds.

I summoned a calm, grown-up sort of voice.“Julian, are you okay?”

Even in the weak glow of my flashlight I could see the hurt in his eyes, and I started to apologize. But then he clasped his hands and stared at them for a long moment, breathing deeply like Mom had told me to do. Finally he raised his eyes to mine. “I’m totally okay. I think…I’m just excited to shoot this last scene. And I can’t do it without you, Avery.”
