Brian kept us busy through lunch, and by the time we were finished, my fingers were cramping from writing “We hope you enjoyed your time in Spring River,” over and over again. Our afternoon session was with Dierdre in the Mary Anne Spier Library, and I was excited to get a look at the books that Cassandra and I had spent hours unloading the day before. As we walked down the hall, I grabbed her sleeve and held her back a little.

“Hey,” I said, “in demonology, what did you mean, you knew that demon?”

Cassandra looked up and down the hall, then stepped to the side so that we were standing close to the wall. “Just that,” she said. “Like, we’d met before. He looked familiar.”

“We’ve never Returned anything like that,” I said. “I’d remember if we had.”

“I know,” she said, nodding. “Which means there’s only one place where I could have met him.”

I nodded. “The Negative,” we both said at the same time.

“That’s good, right?” I asked. “Because it means you’re remembering something?”

Cassandra’s normally calm face wrinkled up like a shar-pei’s. “Maybe,” she said. “But it’s just a ghost of a memory. If I could talk to the demon, I could ask him about that night, what I don’t remember. It’s my best option. I can’t ask MacKenzie, and if I can find out what I don’t remember, then maybe I can find out why I’m not supposed to remember, and then find out why I’m…”

Her voice trailed off. “Cursed?” I said, and she nodded, biting her lower lip. “We’ll look for Cybill at dinner. If she’s working the continental breakfast tomorrow, maybe she’ll also be in the cafeteria tonight.” Cass nodded. Just then, Deirdre came walking down the hall, a smile on her face.

“Come now, girls, you’re with me this afternoon,” she said. “And you don’t want to be late.”
