I walk back to my room slowly, letting the cool of the night saturate my skin. Tomorrow is a big day, but I don’t know what to make of it. Every time I get some clarity on one subject, another pops up.

I am pretty sure I know who Violet’s murderer is, but I can’t even attempt to contact the police at the moment. They are too involved with the Beaufords. That, and the fact that my entire family and I are now on wanted lists everywhere.

A sigh leaves my lips as I open my door. Something needs to be done about Arthur and his family. While I’m glad I haven’t murdered anyone, a part of me wishes I had finished him off. I had the feeling it would make things a little easier. I am tired of the constant fear that has been slowly affecting my thoughts. I walk inside and draw the curtains tight. I don’t even want to see the pale light of the moon. I need my mind to be at ease and clear for tomorrow. To do that, sleep is in order. I’ve already missed four hours. Even if I could get in five, it’ll help. I lay in bed, willing my body to calm down and quiet, but it fights back. No use. My thoughts race around in circles while I force my breathing to slow. With a few deep breaths and a final sigh, I finally drift off to sleep.

I wake with the sun hanging in the sky, beaming into my eyes. It makes them sting, and I get up sourly. It’s a bad start to the day, but I’m positive things will only get better from here on out.

I shower and get dressed in the clothes prepared for me already. They’re not quite my style, but they fit, so I don’t fuss over them. Lydia greets me, and we wait on my parents so we can all drive down to the cafe.

There, Lydia has gotten a job for my mother as a waitress. Next, she helps my father find a job at a local hardware store.

“It’s different from what he’s used to, but he’ll manage,” I say as we walk back to the car. My parents think Lydia’s taking me to work at a bakery, but little do they know what we’re really up to.

After getting settled into the car again, she drives us down the highway. For a beat, it seems like we’re going out of town, but at the last minute, we take a left turn into a small neighborhood. I look on in awe, not because there is anything special about this neighborhood, but because she is so gifted at finding people’s addresses. It’s a part of her job as a private eye, but it’s still impressive nonetheless.

She drives past row after row of houses with a keen eye on the street numbers until we finally stop in front of what I can only assume is our destination. We get out of the car, and Lydia leads us toward a little white house.
