I fall asleep sometime after two, and when I wake the next morning, the first thing I do is text Annie. Call me.

She does, about thirty seconds later, and I lunge to pick up the phone so that the ring doesn’t wake Owen, who’s asleep in the guest room. At least I hope he’s finally sleeping. He sat in the same spot at the kitchen table for hours, eyes closed, head on the table, or slumped back in the chair with his palms pressed together against the bridge of his nose, like he was begging for something. There are so many questions I wanted to ask. What does her family know about him? What’s his role, exactly? Has he been staying at her place, driving her parents to the hospital each day? I couldn’t ask, of course—it’s not the time. I eventually went upstairs to the bathroom, found the sleeping pills that I’ve been using, and left the bottle on the vanity in the guest bathroom.

“Soooo?” Annie says, her voice bright, the soooo curling over itself.

Of course. She’s wondering about my night out with Andrew. I’d already forgotten.

“Hey,” I say. I hop up from the bed and close the door, which I’d left cracked just in case…I’m not sure. In case he needed me, I suppose.

“How was it?” Her voice is tinny, clanging. She can hardly contain herself.

I clear my throat. “It was good.”

“That’s it?” she says. “Oh, no. What is it?”

“Nothing, I had a nice time. It’s what happened after.”

“After? Oh.” I can hear the foreboding in her voice.

“No, not like that. Andrew is a lovely person. Really. But when I got home, Owen was here.”

“Are you kidding me?” she wails. “I can’t believe the gall—”

“Annie, stop,” I interrupt. “It’s Bridget. She’s dead.”
