BETTY

“Fuck. When did she come back? Was she the one he was talking to at the office?” My legs turn to water as she gets closer, and it feels like my entire world is about to detonate.

She removes her mask with one elegant motion, her smile slow, and knowing before stopping right in front of us.

Then, she stretches out her hand towards him, and he takes it like instinct, before kissing it.

The sounds around me fade completely, and suddenly, I freeze.

I stare at him, waiting, hoping he’ll look a

    NATHANIELI shove my chair back so violently it slams into the bookshelf behind me.The sudden movement sends a sharp echo through the study, but I barely register it. My body is already moving before my mind can catch up, pacing across the room like a man who has been set on fire.“No,” I growl under my breath, shaking my head. “That’s not possible.”But the footage behind me keeps playing in the background, the truth sitting there on that screen waiting for me to face it.I turn back to the desk, my fingers trembling slightly as I lean forward and rewind the footage. It plays from the moment Betty and I collapsed in that booth.For several long seconds, we remain exactly where we are, our bodies slumped against the leather seat, completely unconscious.Then, suddenly, two figures enter the frame.The men move with unsettling efficiency, as if they have rehearsed this moment beforehand. One of them slides his arms beneath Betty’s shoulders while the other grabs me, lifting us both fr

    NATHANIELThe tapes are proving much harder to face than I thought they would be.I imagined organized footage, clearly labeled files, maybe even a timestamp that would guide me straight to the moment I was looking for, but instead I received chaos.The footage is tangled together across dozens of files, each one hours long, recorded from multiple cameras that overlap and loop back into one another.So I have been forced to go through them one by one. Frame by frame. Hour by hour. Today is the third day.Empty coffee cups now crowd the corner of my desk, and the muscles at the back of my neck ache from hours of leaning toward the screen.I drag a tired hand across my face and stare at the paused footage in front of me.The temptation to stop presses heavily against my chest. To close the laptop and shut the tapes back inside the box. To leave the past exactly where it has been for the last six years.My hand moves again before the thought fully settles, reaching for the next tape in t

    BETTYWe step out of the car into the cool night air to stretch our legs, both of us needing a moment to recover after that ridiculous make-out session.The sky above us is clear, scattered with stars, and for the first time all evening, the world feels quiet.I stretch myself along the hood of Rhys’s car, leaning back until my shoulders rest against the warm curve of the windshield.The metal beneath me still holds a trace of heat from the engine, and the night air carries the faint scent of grass and asphalt from the empty field around us.Rhys lies beside me with one arm folded behind his head, his other hand intertwined loosely with mine as we both stare up at the sky.“It’s a beautiful night,” I murmur, the words slipping out without much thought as my eyes follow a cluster of stars scattered above us.I feel him shift slightly beside me. “Yeah,” he says quietly. “That fucking horn button though. I should rip it out.”“Yeah, you should.” I scoff, playfully.There is a small pause

    BETTYToday has been one of those rare days where everything seems to fall into place without resistance.Every meeting has gone smoothly, every decision I made earlier in the week proved to be the right one, and for the first time since this project began, I can clearly see the finish line ahead of us.If everything goes according to plan, and I have every reason to believe it will, we should be done in a week.The thought makes my shoulders relax, but a little sad at the same time. It’s bittersweet.After a quick conversation with the foreman about tomorrow’s deliveries, I gather my notebook and laptop and step outside the building.The evening air carries the faint smell of fresh paint from the upper floors, and I pause for a moment on the sidewalk while reaching into my purse for my phone.I didn’t drive here today, so I’ll have to order a cab.I lift my head to check the street for any driving around, and that’s when I spot Rhys standing across the lot, leaning against his car wi

    NATHANIEL.At last, the tapes were in my possession.Getting them had cost more than I anticipated, money, favors, and a small piece of pride I would rather not think about, but the box now sitting in my hands made every compromise feel insignificant.The problem, however, is that Cavendish did not give me only the footage from that specific night.Instead, the man delivered an entire archive covering nearly a month of recordings from the Pearl, which means the box in my hands contains far more material than I originally planned to sift through.Hours of surveillance footage. Possibly days. But none of that discourages me. If anything, it strengthens my resolve.I reach the estate in the late afternoon, carrying the box through the front door without acknowledging anyone who crosses my path, and head straight for the study.I needed somewhere private and quiet to sit through them, and this was the only place I could think of.I push the door open and stop when I see Rhys standing besi

    BETTYI took the entire afternoon off from work today to spend some time with Grace because it was a half-day at her school.It had been a while since the two of us had a proper day out together, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew she needed it just as much as I did.So the moment she climbed into my car with her backpack bouncing against her shoulder, we drove straight to the mall.Our first stop was the toy store. We walked through the entrance, and Grace’s eyes immediately found the Barbie doll she had been eying for some time now.I was planning to get it for her on her birthday, which is a few weeks away, but being with her now, I couldn’t resist. “Mom! Are you serious?” Her entire face lights up when I place the box in her hands.“Yes. Baby.”She squeezes it next to her chest and jumps up and down before hugging my legs. “You are the best mom ever!”I’ll take that.Of course, the Barbie did not remain alone in the shopping cart. A few other toys mysteriously found th
