Riley continued, “Look, I get that things might be awkward between you and Ryan. But if you can accept him
as Rebecca’s dad, it could win her the most freedom from Jeffrey.”
“Whatever Ryan can offer, I can offer too,” Amelia said, her voice firm.
Riley fell silent.
Amelia didn’t hold a grudge over the past, but it wasn’t all water under the bridge.
“Besides,” she said, “he’s the one desperate to claim this relationship, not us. We don’t have to make the first move. If he really wants this, he should come to us and prove he’s sincere.”
And honestly, the choice is ours. Why should Ryan, who threw down a seed and then crushed the first sprout, have any right to the daughter I’ve poured my heart into raising?‘ she thought.
“You’re right,” Riley agreed. “But just be careful. When Jeffrey gets really intense, he turns obsessive–nobody can hold him back in those moments, and he has the kind of mindset to do things most people wouldn’t even dream of.”
Amelia’s gaze flickered upward. She hadn’t expected Jeffrey, who looked polite and humble, to have such a dark side. In the end, she said, “Got it.”
Riley shared a few more things, and Amelia made a mental note of every detail.
Ten minutes later, their conversation was finally cut short when Jeffrey texted Riley: [How much longer are you planning to stay down there?]
Riley paused, slipped her phone away, and got up to say goodbye.
Amelia, sensing she had something to do, didn’t try to keep her.
Neither Rebecca nor Amelia brought up the conversation about Ryan when they saw each other later.
Over the next few days, Rebecca kept up her usual routine, shuttling back and forth between Rebecca’s Manor and the hospital.
She went home partly to change clothes, and partly to make sure Jeffrey didn’t get suspicious.
They’d just talked a few days ago. If she did anything too obvious, Jeffrey might get desperate and end up doing something reckless.

Wednesday afternoon, after helping Amelia with her rehab for the day, Rebecca made a trip back to Rebecca’s
Manor.
She picked a time when Jeffrey would definitely be at work, quietly collecting her important documents and starting to set the stage for her upcoming departure.
