Ling was clearly uncertain about why Reg had called her back to the cottage. She was looking Reg over every time Reg glanced at her.

“I was thinking about coming back,” Ling confessed. “It was so good to hear Warren’s voice again. But I also thought… it might not be healthy for me to keep coming back, right? I mean, I don’t want to avoid the grieving process. I want to be able to heal and get past this.” Her eyes teared up. “However much I don’t feel like I can get over Warren. Other people do. They go on with their lives.”

“Ling…” Reg didn’t want to draw it out and make Ling suffer any longer than she had to. She put the tea tray down on the coffee table and sat down. “I didn’t ask you here because I wanted to do another reading for Warren. He’s been on my mind plenty, but that’s not why I called you.”

“Oh.” Ling was still. Her eyes wandered around the room as if she might be able to pick up on what it was. “Okay…”

“You remember how Warren kept saying that he wasn’t dead?”

Ling nodded. “Of course.”

“He was right, Ling. Warren isn’t dead!”

Ling’s expression immediately became guarded. She wasn’t about to let Reg hurt her and scam her and lead her along. She thought she knew Reg’s game, but she was wrong. Reg leaned in closer.

“Warren is at McNara. He was checked in under the name of David Forrester. It’s hard to explain, but… he’s in a coma there. My friends and I are trying to figure out what we can do to help him, if there’s anything we can do.”

Ling’s eyes were wide with shock. “But… how could that be? That doesn’t make any sense.”

“I know it doesn’t, and I wish I could explain it all to you in a way that made sense, but I can’t. He is alive, and he’s worried about you. He’s worried that the men who crashed his plane might come after you.”

She blinked and shook her head. “The men who crashed his plane? But it was an accident. That’s what the police and the crash investigators said. Something… a malfunction.”

“They were wrong. If they could be wrong about the fact that Warren was dead, they could be wrong about the crash, couldn’t they? It wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t a malfunction. They sabotaged it or they steered it into the water.”

“Why?”

“We’re trying to figure that out. I am, and a couple of friends are helping me. We don’t have all of the answers yet, but I wanted to tell you, so you weren’t mourning Warren when he’s still alive.”

Reg was glad that Ling was already sitting down. She looked completely devastated. Reg didn’t quite understand; she had expected Ling to be elated. But human emotions weren’t always logical. It would take Ling time to get from the place where she had been mourning for her dead husband to celebrating his life. If they could keep him alive and find a way to free him from the coma.
