I call Lois and let her know I’m back in town. She immediately asked if I could help at the library, and I can’t turn her down. I already feel bad for the poor woman. She’s lost so many of her friends from the nursing home. I still haven’t told her that the love of her life, Walter Dupree, has a long-lost grandson, and while she spent years pining for him, he went out and started some legacy. Instead, I’ll keep my mouth shut and just be there for her.

The campus is covered in a fine layer of snow on my walk to the library. It never gets truly cold down here in Alabama, but once in a blue moon we get snow. My eyes wander over the landscape. Everything is so peaceful and quiet right now. In direct contrast to the chaos that just lurks around every corner.

My feet crunch against the icy grass, as I make my way across the quad. I could have taken the sidewalks, but less time in the shadow of the building is probably best. Since Kali isn’t back, no one besides Lois knows I was coming in to work today. Unless Soren is still creeping around.

I walk faster, trying to keep my heart under control. I have to remember that there’s still a killer on the loose. The police believe the killer is now focusing on areas outside of our university and the town of Blue Rose, but I still feel on edge. I’m terrified the events from the beginning of the year will always haunt me. I probably need therapy, but I’m too stubborn to go because I’m not ready to face all my baggage. The therapist would probably argue that I shouldn’t return to campus, and my twin lovers are a toxic relationship, and she won’t even comment on Alex. Any therapist would probably lock me up, and some thoughts are just better kept to myself anyway. Like my Illicit Brotherhood orgy dream.

I hear a soft crunch behind me, and I twirl around, ready to confront whoever it is, but no one is there. The hair on the back of my neck tingles. Someone is watching me, I know it, but I don’t see them. My eyes scan over the trees and between the buildings. There are plenty of shadows, but no evidence that a person is lurking in them.

“It’s all in your head,” I chant under my breath, to myself and walk a little faster to the library. I’m not sticking around to be snuck up on, and like hell will I become the dumb character in a movie who goes to investigate.

The library is surprisingly warm when I get inside. Lois has been in here over the winter break, and she wrote in an email that she left me a few carts with old books that still need to be reshelved, and two new carts of books that need to be added to the computers. Lois figured it would take me all day, but I seriously think I only need a few hours.
