The Day I Walked Again Was The Day I Lost My Husband Book Two, Chapter 3: The Missing File
I stood up before Ramirez had finished the sentence."He was reading my accident file.""Yes.""In the van.""Yes. It is in evidence now. My people are photographing every page as we speak. You will have a copy in the morning.""He requested it from prison. That means he did not have it before.""Correct.""Which means the copy on his side is the prison's copy. Not ours.""Correct."I looked at Noelle across the front room."Get your coat."Noelle blinked once. She got her coat."Evelyn," Damien said. He was already on his feet again. "Where are you going.""To the tower.""Now.""Right now.""At twelve forty five in the morning.""Damien. If Adrian requested the prison's copy, it is because he had reason to believe our copy might not tell him what he needed to know. I need to see our copy. Tonight. Before morning. Before anyone else in that building has a chance to touch it."He did not argue. He picked up his own coat off the arm of the couch and put it on. "Ramirez.""I will follow
The Day I Walked Again Was The Day I Lost My Husband Book Two, Chapter 2: The Message
"Sit down, Damien."He did not sit down.He was standing at the arm of the couch with his eyes on the photograph on my screen, and his face was doing the small still thing it did when a room had just changed shape and he was rearranging every wall of it inside his own head."Damien. Sit.""In a minute.""Now, please."He sat. He did it the way a man sits who is only sitting because a woman he cares about has asked him to twice.Noelle had not moved. She was staring at the screen from across the room."Show me again," she said.I turned the phone toward her."Blue coat," Noelle said."I bought it for him three winters ago.""He wants you to know that.""Yes.""He is not hiding," Damien said. "That is the point. He is not hiding from you. He wants you to see."The phone buzzed again in my hand.Same unknown number. Second message. Six words.*You took my life. I will take yours.*Nobody spoke.I set the phone face up in the middle of the coffee table so that neither of them would have t
The Day I Walked Again Was The Day I Lost My Husband BOOK 2: THE WOMAN HE COULD NOT KILL
PROLOGUEI thought I had already survived the worst thing that would ever happen to me.I had walked out of a wheelchair.I had walked into a boardroom.I had put the man who tried to end my life behind doors that were supposed to stay closed for a very long time.I had rebuilt my house until nothing in it belonged to him.I had raised my sons through a war they were never supposed to know about.I had earned every quiet morning that came after.And on the night I finally let myself believe the story had reached its softest chapter, I stood in the front room of my own house in a dress the color of dark wine, with everyone I loved in one place.For one whole hour, I was perfectly happy.I should have known better.I should have known that women like me are never given an entire hour of peace without something in the next room already coming for it.I did not know that before that night was over, my phone would ring with news so shocking that, for a moment, I would forget how to breathe
The Day I Walked Again Was The Day I Lost My Husband Chapter 120: The Celebration
Four days passed. Neither of them called.Every morning that week I picked up my phone and turned it face up and looked at it and put it back down again. Damien did not text. Sebastian did not text. Both silences were correct and both silences were what I had asked for, and both silences ate a piece of me every hour I let them go on.I did not text either of them.Marta cleaned the house from Wednesday through Friday night. Fresh flowers in the entryway. The good glassware down from the top shelf. On Friday afternoon I pulled out the dress I had bought the week I signed my final papers with the board, wine dark and clean at the shoulder, and I hung it on the back of the bathroom door.Saturday came the way I had trained it to come.The house was full by seven.Leonard in his chair by the fire, glass in hand, deep in conversation with Priya Rao about a Zurich office he had heard was expanding. Daniel Ekpo at the piano, playing something he had claimed on the drive over not to remember.
The Day I Walked Again Was The Day I Lost My Husband Chapter 119: The Stranger Who Is Not a Stranger
I was in the lounge before his plane touched down.The private terminal at Teterboro had four small lounges built into the far end of the building, and I had asked for the one with the glass wall that looked out at the runway. I had come alone. No driver. No Noelle. No security beyond the man at the outer door who had waved my car through. I had told Marta I would be back by six. I had told no one else where I was going.I sat in a leather chair the color of dark honey and watched the light on the tarmac change.The plane came in at four thirteen.I saw it before I heard it, a white shape banking low over the marsh. It taxied. It stopped. The stairs came down. A single figure came off the plane with a coat folded over one arm and a leather bag on his shoulder, and he walked across the tarmac without hurrying and without looking at his phone, and I knew, before I could make out any feature of his face, that it was him.Nobody else on earth walked like that.He came in through the side
The Day I Walked Again Was The Day I Lost My Husband Chapter 118: Damien, Chosen
I drove the rest of the way home with the three words face down on top of the leather folder.I did not look at the phone again. I did not need to. My eyes were on the road, but the words were already sitting inside my chest the way a coin sits at the bottom of a glass of water. I could see through them. I could not lift them out.Marta had the kettle on when I came in. She took one look at my face and poured me a glass of red wine instead and set it on the counter without a word. I kissed the top of her head as I went past, and I carried the folder up to my study and put it in the safe behind the painting my mother had left me. Then I went downstairs and sat on the kitchen floor with Elias for forty minutes while he explained the rules of a game he had invented on the beach and forgotten to teach me.I did not touch the wine.Damien texted me the next morning at seven.Home safe? Come for dinner tomorrow. Same kitchen. Different menu.I answered him at seven and one minute.Yes.The
