Stanley wasn’t nearly as calm as Riley. “Aren’t you worried he might actually die?”

“He’d outlive you, no contest,” Riley replied, her voice steady and totally chill. “Don’t forget, besides pulling off a double major, he even sat in on med classes back then.”

Stanley paused, processing that.

Then it hit him. “Wait, are you saying he stabbed himself just to get Rebecca’s attention?”

“Probably not,” Riley said, after hearing the whole story. “He’s never been one for putting on a wounded hero act. More likely, they argued and he just snapped.”

“So you’re really saying he’s not gonna die?” Stanley was practically losing it. “That knife went in deep–this isn’t some scratch, he could actually be in trouble.”

‘Even if he’s gone off the deep end, there’s always a bit of reason left in him, Riley thought, cool as ever. “No way he’d actually finish himself off.”

“Guy’s got a screw loose!” Stanley snapped, and he never usually called him out like that.

Riley just shrugged, still chill. “Can’t argue with that.”

“You really not coming?” Stanley asked.

Riley glanced at Samuel, who was totally absorbed in his book. “Nah, Rebecca’s probably freaked out after everything. I need to help her calm down.”

Stanley thought about how out of it Rebecca had looked earlier and didn’t push it.

Anyone who crosses paths with a maniac like Jeffrey could use a bit of comfort.

Rebecca couldn’t get that glaring splash of red on his white shirt out of her head. Her mood was in shambles.

Tommy was driving in the front, and when he saw her face in the rearview mirror, he spoke up. “Ms. Jensen?”

Rebecca didn’t move.

She heard him, but her body just wouldn’t respond to anything.

“You really don’t need to worry, Mr. Hanson’s a hundred percent gonna be fine,” Tommy reassured her, dead serious. “Barry always says Mr. Hanson’s like some kind of god–like, he’s got plot armor or something.”

“I’m not worried,” Rebecca replied flatly, forcing herself to sound chill.

She’d already steeled herself to shut him down, and she wasn’t about to let him know she cared–otherwise, who knows if he’d pull that psycho move again just to mess with her.

He was straight–up out of his mind.

Iter threat was just a desperate move, hoping he’d finally back off.

But he actually went and did it.
