      Chapter 21

      Chapter 21 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 21 By dinner time tonight, the cardboard box Enzo brought into the house is still sitting on the dining table. In the interest of setting the table, I try to move it, but it is very heavy—Enzo made it seem lighter than it was by the way he effortlessly carried it into the room. I’m scared if I try to move it, I’ll accidentally drop it. Odds are good there’s some priceless Ming vase inside, or something equally fragile and expensive. I study the return address on the box again. Evelyn…

      Chapter 20 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 20 God, that was humiliating. I’m still reeling from the mortification of Enzo rejecting me while I’m waiting for Cecelia to finish her tap-dancing class. My head is throbbing, and the tapping of little feet in unison coming from the dance classroom isn’t helping matters at all. I look around the room, wondering if anyone else finds it as annoying as I do. No? Just me? The woman in the seat next to mine finally gives me a sympathetic look. Based on her naturally smooth skin, with no signs…

      Chapter 2

      Chapter 2 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 2 When you live in your car, you have to keep things simple. You’re not going to be hosting any major gatherings, for one thing. No wine and cheese parties, no poker nights. That’s fine, because I don’t have anyone I want to see. The bigger problem is where to take a shower. Three days after I was evicted from my studio, which was three weeks after I got fired from my job, I discovered a rest stop that had showers. I almost cried with joy when I saw it. Yes, the showers have very little…

      Chapter 19 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 19 The next morning, Nina has morphed back into the more pleasant version of herself, having seemingly forgotten last night. I would think it was all a terrifying dream except for the bandage wrapped around her right hand. The white gauze is dotted with crimson. Although she’s not being directly weird with me, Nina is more frazzled than usual this morning. When she goes to drive Cecelia to school, her tires screech against the pavement. When she returns, she just stands in the middle of the…

      Chapter 18

      Chapter 18 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 18 That night, I wake up to the sound of shouting. The attic is incredibly well insulated, so I can’t hear anything being said. But there are loud voices coming from below my room. A male voice and a female voice. Andrew and Nina. Then I hear a crash. Instinctively, I roll out of bed. Maybe it’s none of my business, but something is going on down there. I have to at least make sure everything is okay. I put my hand on the doorknob to my room, and it doesn’t turn. Most of the time, I’m…

      Chapter 17 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 17 Today Andrew and Nina have an appointment with that fertility specialist. They’ve both been nervous and excited about the appointment all week. I heard snatches of their conversation during dinner. Apparently, Nina got a bunch of fertility tests and they’re going to be discussing the results today. Nina thinks they’re going to be doing IVF, which is expensive, but they’ve got money to burn. As much as Nina gets on my nerves sometimes, it’s sweet how the two of them are planning for…

      Chapter 16

      Chapter 16 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 16 It’s safe to say I hate every single woman at this PTA meeting. There are four of them total, including Nina. I’ve memorized their names. Jillianne (Jilly-anne), Patrice, and Suzanne (not to be confused with Jillianne). The reason I have memorized their names is because Nina will not let me leave the backyard. She’s been making me stand in the corner, constantly at attention in case they need something. At least the hors d’oeuvres are a success. And Nina has no idea Andrew picked them…

      Chapter 15 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 15 This Saturday afternoon, Nina is throwing a small PTA gathering in her backyard. They’re meeting up to plan something called “field day” in which the kids play in a field for a few hours, and somehow it takes months of planning to prepare for it. Nina has been talking about it nonstop lately. And she has texted me no less than a dozen times to remind me to pick up the hors d’oeuvres. I’m starting to get stressed because, as usual, the entire house was a mess when I woke up this…

      Chapter 14 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 14 I’ve been living with the Winchesters for about three weeks when I have my first parole officer meeting. I waited to schedule it for my day off. I don’t want them to know where I’m going. I’m down to monthly meetings with my officer, Pam, a stocky middle-aged woman with a strong jaw. Right after I got out, I was living in housing subsidized by the prison, but after Pam helped me get that waitressing job, I moved out and got my own place. Then after I lost the waitressing job, I never…
