Stephen Hanson asked, “Why?”

“I don’t trust anyone from the Hanson family,” Rebecca said bluntly, not singling him out. “The way you. talked to me on the phone made me doubt you could actually look after her.”
Stephen Hanson didn’t respond.
Rebecca added, “If I hand her over to you and something happens to her tonight, it’d be on me too.”
“I get why you don’t trust Jeffrey,” Stephen Hanson said, his tone as calm as ever. “But I don’t think I’ve ever done anything to make you question my character.”
Rebecca shot back, “You used me against Jeffrey.”
Stephen Hanson replied, “Wasn’t that just a partnership?”
Rebecca retorted, “You were the one who started it.”
Stephen Hanson admitted, “Didn’t me asking you to come back and save his life make up for it?”
“When Karen wakes up tomorrow, I’ll tell her you came by,” Rebecca replied, holding her ground. “But there’s no way I’m letting you take her tonight.”
“If I said Karen and I were seeing each other, would that change things?” Stephen asked out of nowhere.
Rebecca blinked, thrown off by his question. ‘Is he for real right now?‘
Stephen quickly put his mask back on. “Forget it. She gets anxious in the dark, so could you keep a bedside lamp on for her?”
Rebecca agreed firmly. “Alright.”
Stephen thanked her and headed downstairs.
He didn’t leave right away. After getting into the car, he gazed out the window at the mansion–almost more like a castle than a house–his eyes slowly growing darker.
“Drive up a bit,” he told the driver.
The driver did as he was told.
Once the car stopped, Stephen rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and let his arm hang outside. Smoke curled around him, shrouding his face in shadow.
Stephen grabbed his phone, pulled up Karen’s chat window, and shot her a text: [Did you seriously pass out, or is this just an act?]
Karen saw the notification right away.
