Hannah used the heel of her shoe to kill a wasp that was walking slowly across the wood floor of the attic. When she glanced back at the diary, she noticed that in faded ink, Lyle had gone back and written a little note next to this last entry.

I will never forget the face of the man who died or his wife or kids. We went through hell together, but I never got their names. I will always wonder what happened to them. Long after Dr. Woodworth had moved away, I would still visit the grave of that man we buried in the woods. One year there were some flowers laying on the unmarked spot on the ground. It gave me hope that perhaps his family had made it to “freedom.” No one knew the location of the grave except for Me, John, Milly, Dr. Woodworth and his wife.

Hannah’s phone buzzed in her back pocket and she jumped as though she had been shot. For a moment, she had trouble remembering where she was or what century she was living in. It took her a second to remember that she was living in the twenty-first century and in her back pocket was something that would have been unthinkable to Lyle or Milly—a cell phone telling her that she had a text.

She checked the text message. It was a long one, from her second-best friend, Carly, back in California who had never quite caught on to using short-hand texting messaging. It was not good news.

“Joey and Madison have announced they are going out together. It’s on Facebook. I’m so sorry. Joey told Greg that he still likes you but you stayed in Ohio too long.”
