Fifteen

I curled onto my side, Ebenezer snuggling against me, and tried to sleep. My mind fretted about Cassie. How was she doing? Should I call? I didn’t want to come across as I was stalking her or considered her a murderer. No, listen to your friend’s advice. Don’t contact Cassie. It would make things worse.

Reaching out, I snagged my cell from the bedside table and clicked on the Facebook app and brought up Cassie’s page. Her last post was Saturday morning when she accused me of being responsible for her father’s death. Friends posted condolences and asked if she was okay and if she needed to talk to contact them any time day or night. Cassie remained silent. Or at least was quiet on her page, she might be messaging them privately.

I popped over to Samuel’s page. More rest in peace message. I scrolled down some more and stopped, moving back up. Told you, man, trouble follows. Gary Meadows. The name was unfamiliar. I clicked on the guy’s name and all I saw was his name and no other identifiers. The only way for me to learn more about Gary, and his connection to Samuel, was to friend the guy.

I hoped Gary Meadows was intrigued enough by the name of Merry Winters he’d accept it. I switched from his page to my main page and changed my icon to something a little less Christmassy so I didn’t frighten the guy. One might not want to friend a grown woman who was wearing light up antlers.

Exhaustion washed over me. My emotions had been up and down all day, grieving Samuel then angry at him. Feeling sorry for him then wondering what he did to deserve his fate. Some of those thoughts weren’t nice at all. I needed my brain turned off for a few hours. I switched off my phone and placed it on the bedside table. Rolling over, I curled myself into a ball and Ebenezer snuggled into my stomach. The warmth of his tiny body was comforting. Tension drained from my body and my eyes fluttered closed.
