It’s eating me alive. I can’t keep quiet anymore. I’m going to talk to them. They can’t do this to me. To us. They cannot keep him from me.

Meg gasped when she saw me. “You can’t read that! It’s personal.” She strode across the room and snatched it away from me. She closed it and put it on top of the other books on the nightstand. “She’s going to know. We shouldn’t be here.”

I gave a backward glance at the journal, a thread of guilt weaving through me. Meg was right, I had no right to be invading Esmé’s privacy like this, but I couldn’t help but wonder who she had been talking about in her journal. I quickly looked back at the labeled box in the closet. Poor Esmé.

“Come on,” Meg prodded.

My guilt multiplied. I had no valid reason to suspect that she had anything to do with Ben Nader, and other than the reality TV show, nothing at all to link her to Sandra Mays. I was grasping at straws. Esmé had her own troubles without me adding to them by suspecting her of being involved in something unsavory. More than anything, I just wanted to find her and make sure she was okay.

Meg and I left the room just as we’d found it. We exchanged cell phone numbers before I thanked her for her help with the garden and told her I’d be back in a few days to check on it. “Make sure you water tomorrow, and compost!” I called. She stood at the door and waved at me. No smile. She was still freaked about sneaking into Esmé’s room, and I didn’t blame her. I hadn’t only had her help me with the garden. I’d led her down the garden path and the guilt was already turning black inside her.

I felt the same way.
