BY THE time we pulled into the driveway, it was almost three in the morning and we were both dragging. I was still exhausted, but with Tim’s care, I wasn’t unconscious and waking up in the hospital again.

I opened my door and tried to get out, only to have my legs give way. Strong arms grabbed me from behind, keeping me from falling on my face.

“You need a keeper.”

I looked up into his twinkling eyes. “Are you applying for the job?”

He hefted me to my feet, slid his arm around my waist, and let me lean on him as we moved for the door. “I’m the only applicant.”

He’d said this was a good idea, but now I had to wonder how long before he got sick of it. Would he one day be like my dad and say he was tired of the freak show?

“Tim, I—”

“Whatever is going on in your head, it can wait until we’re in the house. You need food and lots of rest.”

I was about to say it might be easier if he just carried me, but knowing Tim, that’s exactly what he’d do. I might put up some token resistance, but I wouldn’t object.

He held me up as he slipped the key into the lock, and I grinned at the analogy. He was what kept me on an even keel.

“Oh, I don’t need anything.” I tried to sit up, but the room wouldn’t stop spinning. “Okay, maybe it’s not a bad idea to relax a bit.”

“Yeah, thought you might see things my way. You’re too pale, and you’re shaking.” He stepped away for a few moments, then came back with a bedspread, which he put over me. “I’m going to make some soup, because I don’t want to give you anything heavy right now, okay? It’ll be a bit before food is done, so try to rest.”

I think I nodded, but the way everything was moving, I couldn’t be sure. “I have to tell you something….” Tim needed to know.

“We can talk later. Rest or I’ll tie you up and gag you.”

“Ooh, talk dirty to me, Daddy.”

He didn’t so much as crack a smile.

“Seriously, we have to talk. I think…. No, I’m sure I know what’s inside of you.”

That caught his attention. He lifted my legs, sat down, and then lowered them onto his lap. “Go on.”

My vision was swimming and it was hard to focus. “Elizabeth…. She was another one of his victims, I think. She was strangled, just like the boy I saw. A lot of this is guesswork, but I think he’s got a thing for children with blond hair and blue eyes. The thing is, when I was standing there and he
