Itâs certainly not the Ritz, but it was close to where we exited the freeway, and they had vacancies, so Moâs Motor Inn is where Bird and I are laying our heads tonight.
Sheâs sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling her phone in a daze. She hasnât said much since we left Nora back at the facility, and Iâm guessing thatâs because coping with her sisterâs death as a suicide was one thing, but to now question whether it was murder? I canât even imagine what she must be thinking.
âCome here.â
She glances over her shoulder when I pull my shirt over my head, tossing it to the armchair in the corner before pulling back the covers. I turn off the lamp beside the bed, and then climb onto the mattress. She smiles when I pat the space beside me, and doesnât hesitate to join me.
Sheâs sleeping in the tank sheâd been wearing under her long-sleeve tee and a pair of panties, seeing as how neither of us packed or planned to spend the night in this small town. But the low visibility made braving the hours long drive home a hazard. So, weâre making the best of it.
Not that itâll be so hard to enjoy a night of solitude with my girl.
âTalk to me,â I say, my lips pressed to her forehead as she snuggles into my chest, her nose pressed to my throat. Our arms lock each other in, and as her tits push against my chest, I swear our hearts are beating in sync.
âI feel⦠I donât know what I feel,â she says, stopping herself from speaking her original thought out loud.
âWhatever it is, no matter how dark, no matter how ugly, you can say it with me, Bird. You know I donât judge.â
She lets out a breath and it warms the hollow of my throat.
âItâs just that⦠I⦠Is it bad that Iâm almost hoping Nora is right? Does that make me a terrible person, because Iâd be somewhat relieved if what happened to Mel wasnât just the result of a culmination of failures and missed signals on my part?â
I take in her words, letting their meaning sink in.
âFirst of all, nothing you could say or do would ever make me see you as a terrible person.â Her fingers, splayed across my back, flatten into my skin more when she grips me tighter. âSecondly, I get it. Youâve spent all this time blaming yourself, thinking you failed your sister in some way that led her to do what she did. And now, if she died at the hand of someone else, it takes away that possibility altogether.â
She nods against my arm that rests beneath her head, confirming that my assessment is spot on. âYes,â she says. âThatâs exactly it. And I hear what youâre saying, but⦠it feels counterintuitive to be relieved by the idea that someone hurt her.â
I squeeze her a little tighter. âBut is it, though? Is it really that hard to understand why
