âWell, that went well.â Meredith wiped her sweaty palms down the fabric of her skirt. Charles remained standing, as rigid as a fence post, keeping a safe distance from the table ⦠from her.
âYou should read this, Mr. Hannigan.â She tapped the letter. âThe contents involve you as well.â
He didnât move.
âI suggested Daniel write a few personal things in order to convince you both of the letterâs authenticity.â
âThe both of us?â he hissed out.
âYes, because you need to know what will happen to you both two weeks from now.â She lifted her chin. âTo convince you, Daniel wrote about the time you two stole a blackberry pie from Mrs. Delaneyâs windowsill. He also mentioned Katherine Rose, the girl you both fancied when you were fourteen.â
Charles sucked in an audible breath. His face went pale, and a fine sheen of perspiration glistened on his brow. âYou canât know those things. It isnât possible.â
âYet I do, and it is.â Her last nerve snapped. Beginning with Oliverâs stupid stunt, the physical toll of time travel, the reality of actually being in the past with all its dangers, Charlesâs suspicious glare, and Danielâs hasty exit, she was perilously close to a meltdown.
âPlease read the damned letter! Iâve risked a lot to try and save the two of you, and Iâd appreciate it if youâd at least do your part.â Meredith plopped her elbows on the table and buried her face in her hands. Exhaustion rolled over her like one of those road construction machines that flatten hot asphalt. To make matters worse, the beginnings of a headache throbbed at the back of her skull.
The silence inside the cabin was deafening, and then the sound of ⦠foil? Her head snapped up in time to see Oliver pop a square of dark chocolate into his mouth. âIâd like one of those, Oliver.â
âTough.â He flashed her a resentful look. âIâll sell you a piece for five silver dollars.â
Meredith was about to remind him that he hadnât paid for the bags of chocolate in the first place. John Schulte had, but then Charles let loose a growl and turned his glare to Oliver.
âI donât like your attitude, boyo. Give the lady a piece of whatever it is she wants, or leave. Those are your only two options.â He lifted his chair from the floor and brought it back to the table. Charles sat down and reached for the letter, not bothering to look at Oliver again.
His eyes wide, Oliverâs face blotched with red again. Meredith was as surprised as he was by Charlesâs outburst.
âNow, lad, and seeing as how weâll be feeding and providing you with a roof over your head for the foreseeable future, Iâll have one as well. Bring a few to the table for Daniel while youâre at it.â
Oliver hopped to and fetched a handful of chocolates from his backpack. Without a word, he brought them over and placed the foil-wrapped squares at the center of the table. Then he resumed his place beside the stove, once again retreating into a sulk.
