After leaving Ray's, Mary Ellen went home. Her house was dark. Everyone was asleep. She walked through her dark, quiet house thinking of her day and her encounter with Timothy. The hot, sexy doctor who was no longer a sad, hurt chubby boy. She thought of the temptations, her desires.

That night Ed benefited. She was turned on and ready as she crawled into bed.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

~Beth~

Bobby left so angry. Beth had never seen him that angry before. He stormed out of his house and slammed the door. She stood there a minute and tried to figure out how many beers he might have had. There was no way for her to know for certain, because he had already been drinking before she showed up, while playing poker with his friends. But she did know he shouldn’t be out driving angry and not thinking clearly, especially with alcohol in his system. Careless things could happen. She also knew she shouldn’t have poked her nose in his business as regret was settling in. She shouldn’t have gone behind his back to Florida or talked to Ann. She should have left it all alone and enjoyed the direction their relationship was headed. She didn’t mean to push him away. This was supposed to make him happy. She thought she had good news for him.

When she got to his house, she was nervous to bring it up right away, so she suggested they have a drink. Then they had a few drinks, until she found the courage to talk about it with him. She finally brought up her phone call with Ann. She didn’t mean for it to get so heated between her and Bobby. She had trodden lightly. He didn’t even know she knew about the alibi, the poison, and his dad. She didn’t even get to that part of the conversation. She simply mentioned that she visited his hometown, that she wanted to help him find some answers, some closure. She told him she was only trying to help.

“Why would you do that!” he shouted at her. “Why would you go prying around in something that has nothing to do with you?”

“But it does have to do with me,” Beth answered, trying to decide the best way to explain that to him. “I can’t just be with someone and not know anything about them. I’m sorry, but I can’t. I see the pain it causes you. I see how it's always in the back of your mind. I hear you toss and turn in your sleep over this. I wanted to help.”

“You don’t get it. I don’t want your help,” he told Beth, clenching his teeth.

“I’m sorry, Bobby; I was just trying to help find some answers, and I did!” replied Beth. “Ann told me she received a postcard in the mail once. A year or so ago. There was no return address, and there was nothing written on the postcard, but it was of a wolf. She said all she knew was that it had come from Charleston, and she didn’t know anyone who lived in Charleston.
