Chapter Ten
January Whitehall
Five weeks in the cabin pass like the blink of an eye. When I woke up in Adrianoâs room the first morning, I was sure weâd have everything cleared up that day. That Mr. Bianchi would call to apologize about the shooting and he and Eli would make plans to work everything out in that big scary conference room where we first signed the contract.
Not so much.
Instead, the boys have long circular conversations about who we can trust and the risk weâd take in contacting them. The general agreement is that Mr. Parker has decided to torch everything, and end Velvet House and that Mr. Bianchi might have approved the wedding poisoning, if not the shooting.
That seems insane to me, but Iâm hardly an expert and thereâs no denying that whoever shot Bobby was trying to kill him and until we know weâre not going to be murdered, we should stay in the safe house.
I know where we are now. In the outer forests of Vermont, miles away from the police, the public, and even the park rangers that patrol the area. Weâre completely alone, but it doesnât feel that way. The five of us are always together and even though Iâd never say it, there are times when it almost feels like a winter vacation. We play cards, drink wine by the huge fireplace, and eat whatever I can throw together.
The boys donât like going into town for food in case we draw attention to ourselves so mostly we eat deer, wild turkey, brook trout, and grouseâwhatever Adriano can huntâalong with bitter salads that I sweeten with balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil.
Cooking has become my obsession. Iâve always enjoyed it, but some part of me is convinced I can make everything better if I figure out how to make tasty, interesting meals out of venison and frozen peas. I use the dried and canned supplies in the pantry to bake honey cakes and flatbread and brew fresh coffee every morning.
âYouâre going to make me as soft as your dough,â Eli complains, but I know heâs only joking. The four of them are doing so much hunting and hiking to monitor the area, theyâve all lost weight, their bodies taking on the leanness that only Doc had before. Theyâre changing in other ways too. Growing wilder, I think. Doc, Eli, and Bobby all have short beards now and Adrianoâs hair is almost to his shoulders. Sometimes he lets me brush it in front of the fire. Unless Iâm busy doing something else. Because thatâs the other thing about the cabinâif Iâm not roasting nuts for trail mix or stirring tallow into gravy, Iâm getting laid.
Like, all the time.
It started the second night we were here. Everyone was wandering around the safe house looking shell-shocked, fidgeting with things that didnât need to be moved, picking up books and maps and putting them down again until finally Doc went to the huge liquor cabinet on one side of the living room and threw the door open.
