LEAH

Wilson is tapping his foot, waiting for me to answer. “So?”

He’s been bugging me for an hour about moving back to the mansion.

Yes, it’s true, I do actually want to. But I want to talk to Allister first before I make that kind of decision, and I know he’s on his way back home right now. If we just wait, he’ll be here and I can talk it through with him. It has me more than anxious knowing that he’s on his way. I’m not sure how to tell Wilson to leave.

“Yes, it’s time to go back, and I will. Just a couple more days. I want all the investigating done so my life can be as hassle-free as possible. Surely you understand that? The lieutenant said they would be there today and tomorrow taking down any final notes and then it will all be done. Simon and Victor have already made their plea bargains or whatever you call it, anyway, so it’s just a bit of paperwork. After that, I’ll go back.”

He doesn’t meet my eyes, but I can see his jaw clenching. I don’t know why this matters to him so much. “You need to be back at the house. That’s all I’m saying.” He lets out a sigh and shakes his head. “Henrietta told me to tell you to take your medicine.”

Furious heat covers me. I’m so tired of them treating me like a child. “I’m not taking it! I told Henrietta that and she knows it. Not anymore, not ever. She is not in charge. I took those for too long. Simon forced them down my throat for years and I’m done. I told Henrietta the same thing I’m going to tell you: I’d rather live with the pain.

“Besides, with the therapy Allister has me going to, my legs are getting better. The pain is less intense than it has ever been and should even get better over time. I won’t take them, Wilson, so don’t even try. Every time I think of those pills, it just makes me think of the person who killed Mom and Dad. Those pills are the cause of all our tragedy.”

Wilson looks dumbfounded. He just closes the cabinet and walks back to the table where I’m sitting with my laptop open.

I slap it closed. The scene I was writing before he walked in was the ending of the book I’d been writing for Allister and I don’t want anyone but him seeing the words. Besides, I don’t really want to read them myself right now. I’m not exactly feeling in the mood. Wilson sighs, but he shrugs his shoulders and takes a seat, and I force myself to take a deep breath. It’s not his fault, I remind myself. He’s just doing as he’s told.

“Wilson, I’m sorry, that was uncalled for. I’m fine. Actually, I just want to take a nap. I’m tired and it’s making me snippy. I don’t think I’ll need you for the rest of the day.
