Just one doctor from your childhood.” “Stop it,” I whispered, pulling back. “Name them!” Penelope slammed her glass onto the table.

Unless, of course, she has nothing to say.”

“Say what you came to say and get out." Three years. That’s how long Penelope had been my father’s widow. Three years of her showing motherly concern, but I could see her desperate attempts to claw her way into power. At first, I let her live because she was harmless. Now?

Are you sick?" Following Vanessa's concerned voice, I saw Penelope sitting in her seat, her eyes glazed over, her face turning red.
