I know I shouldnât be doing this.
I know that itâs wrong.
But someone needs to do it, and Mom is too freaked out by something she and Tobias found in the woods and Margotâs stuck in her room. I have no idea where Daphne is, which is probably best.
I checked things out from my telescope first. Tobias is in the greenhouse, doing something with the plants. Heâs been spending more and more time there, which I figure is probably a good thing, seeing as weâre going to rely on the gardens for food.
I got online last night for a few minutes before Mom came on the intercom and told me to get off. I donât know how she knew I was on, but she did. Sheâs been having more and more meetings, sometimes for hours. She goes into that small library that nobody used to use, locks the door (I know because I tried to come in one time), and stays there talking to her screen. I only catch phrases when I press my ear to the door. Itâs easier to listen in, now that Margot is laid up with her broken ribs and Daphne is off playing with her imaginary friends. The walls of our house are thinner than youâd think, given that itâs a âhistoricalâ home. Early in the morning Iâll hear Daphneâs angel-voice cutting through the air into my brain.
âNow, what did I tell you?â sheâll say. âThatâs not how we do things here. Take a sip of tea. Eat your sandwichâitâs peanut butter and jellyâ¦I donât care if you donât like it. Now close your eyes, itâs bedtime.â And so on and so forth.
The only imaginary friends I had were kids at school who I thought liked me, but who ended up being liars. It was a whole other kind of pretend.
I walk down the hallway, past the little library where the door is closed and Mom is talking to someone. I have a key card for Dadâs roomsâI borrowed it off the nurse we had before Margot, but then Mom realized the nurse didnât have her key card and fired her for a breach of security or something like that. Iâd felt terrible, but I also didnât want to be locked out of rooms in my own house. Plus I got to visit Dad whenever I wanted to once I had the key card. Iâm very careful about when I go in, so Mom hasnât figured out yet that I have a copy. Dad wonât tell her. He likes when I visit, or at least it seems that he does.
But Iâm not heading to visit Dad. I need to go and check out Darrenâs apartment.
I went into the medical wing late last night and got a gown and a mask and some gloves. Besides, when I checked the Centers for Disease Control website last night for those few minutes I got online it said that the virus canât live on surfaces for longer than twenty-four hours.
