Too Late: She Is Gone With Your Baby Chapter 116
Chapter 116ELII heard it through the crack in the door.Mum was talking to someone on the phone in the other room, the connecting door not closed all the way, the same kind of crack as before, the kind nobody leaves on purpose. I had been building a tower with my blocks and I stopped building when I heard the word.Adrian's house.I did not hear all the rest of the sentence. I heard those two words and then everything after them turned into buzzing, like when the television is between channels and there is just noise instead of a picture.I put the block down.I went and stood by the crack in the door and I did not care this time if it counted as listening on purpose, because some things are too big to worry about the rules of investigating.Mum said something about safety. Something about gates. Something about it being the only place with real protection.I did not need to hear the whole thing. I already knew everything I needed to kn

Chapter 115JULIAN"It's the practical answer," I said. "I'm not saying it because I want it. I'm saying it because Eli needs to be somewhere safe, and pretending there's a version of safety that doesn't involve him is a luxury we don't have anymore."She did not say anything for a long moment.I kept my eyes on the blanket, on the small mechanical rise and fall of the monitor readout beside the bed, on anything except her face, because I could feel what this cost me building somewhere behind my sternum, something heavier than the cracked ribs, and I did not trust myself to hold steady if I looked at her while it landed.She reached for my hand.I let her take it. I did not close my fingers around hers the way I usually did, the automatic response of five years of reaching for her without thinking about it. I let my hand simply rest in hers, open, unresponsive in the particular deliberate way that told her, more clearly than any explanation could have,

Chapter 114JULIANI had felt something close to satisfaction the moment Adrian left my doorway.It did not last long. It burned hot and quick, the specific pleasure of finally saying out loud a thing I had been carrying for weeks, and then, sometime in the early hours of the morning, lying awake with the machines beeping their steady rhythm beside me, it curdled into something uglier. I kept hearing my own voice saying it. Danger follows you like a smell. I had meant every word when I said it. I still believed most of it, in the cold light of morning, still believed he had brought something into our lives that had not been there before he arrived.But I had also enjoyed saying it.That was the part that sat wrong with me, turning it over in the gray hospital light before the nurses came for their morning rounds. I had wanted to hurt him. I had reached for the cruelest true thing I could find and I had used it, and some small ungenerous part of me had watc

Chapter 113ADRIANI had spent five years believing the crash on the airport road was exactly what it appeared to be. A woman leaving a marriage, driving too fast, too distracted, too upset, losing control on a wet curve in the day. Grief had built itself around that explanation the way scar tissue builds around a wound, and I had never once, in five years, questioned whether the wound itself had a different shape than I believed.But if someone with resources and precision had tried again tonight, on an ordinary residential street, with a stolen car and false plates and a planned escape route, then the possibility opened in front of me like something I could not close back up.What if the first accident had not been an accident at all.What if someone had tried to kill Elena Hart five years ago, and had believed they succeeded, and had only now discovered, through some fan-event photograph or some careless piece of publicity around the orchestra's tour, tha

Chapter 112JULIANThe detective from the local precinct called me at nine in the morning with the kind of careful, professional voice that people use when they are about to tell you something worse than you were prepared for."The vehicle was stolen," she said. "Two states over, reported missing three weeks ago. The plates on it that night were false, manufactured to match a registration that doesn't actually exist in our system. Whoever drove it knew the side streets well enough to disappear within ninety seconds. No cameras picked up a clear angle on the driver.""That's not a drunk driver," I said. "That's not road rage.""No," she said. "It isn't."I stood in my study with the phone against my ear and looked out at the city, and something in my chest went cold in a way that had nothing to do with the temperature of the room."There was a partial plate," I said. "Julian Hale said he saw part of it before he lost consciousness. Does th

Chapter 111ELIA nurse came by with a blanket. Grey, soft-looking, folded over her arm.Adrian was standing near the chairs. He saw the nurse coming toward me and he moved too, reaching for the blanket himself, like he wanted to be the one to hand it to me, like that would count for something.I saw him reach.I got up off the window ledge fast and went straight to the nurse instead, cutting between them, and I took the blanket right out of her hands before Adrian's hand got anywhere near it."Thank you," I said to her. Not to him.I did not look at Adrian at all.I went back to the window ledge with the blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders and did not say anything else, and I felt him standing there behind me, not moving, and I did not turn around to see his face because I did not want to know what it looked like.I did not need a blanket from him.I did not need anything from him.---I opened the notebook properly
