Virginia moved to the front seat next to Walter, while Calista joined me in the back. Neither of us said much to each other. I stared out the window as the sleek, black SUV glided across the Limehouse Memorial Bridge out into the heart of the marshes and Johns Island.
“Where are we going?” I asked. “What’s she doing all the way out here?”
“Hiding,” Calista said. “We’re meeting her at Angel Oak.”
I was familiar with Angel Oak, as were most people from Charleston. When I was at the home, we’d taken field trips to it. It was a beautiful old tree; but I didn’t really get why we’d be going there.
I didn’t even bother asking.
As we got closer and the land around us turned more rural, Virginia turned to me.
“Now, Briar,” she said. “You might know about Emma, but she still doesn’t know about you. This is going to be a bit of a shock for her, so for now, you should probably stay in the car. When we’re ready for you, I’ll signal Walter to let you out.”
I sighed. “You’re keeping me captive in a car. With some sort of bodyguard.”
“It’s not like that,” Virginia said. “I’m just trying to make this easy on everyone. Imagine walking up to someone who looked like your mirror twin and they had never seen or heard about you before. It would be a huge shock to your system. She’s had enough shocks. Emma is still recovering from her fall.”
I understood that. In this case, Virginia was right. I’d let her handle this weirdest of introductions. Besides, I was still incredibly nervous. Something I hated to admit.
I hadn’t thought about how much we’d look alike. Mirror twin?
This was going to be pretty bizarre.
