“What do you think their final thoughts were?” she continued. “Dying alone on that beach in the dark…”

“Laurel,” I cut in, “why are you so interested in this accident?”

A pause. “Blake darling, remember four years ago? My sister Rachel Hayes had her accident at night too. No one found her until morning, and by then…”

My eyes closed briefly. If she had been talking about strangers, I might have believed her concern was genuine. But the accident was no accident – and the supposed victims were Audrey and me.

How do I reconcile this? Five years ago, she rescued me when I was blind, caring for me with endless patience. Four years ago, when Rachel died, she knelt before her parents for days, blaming herself. Three years ago, discovering her cancer, she left quietly to spare me pain.
