Truthfully, a part of me almost wanted her to jump.

Let her feel just a fraction of what Carter had gone through.

Adam shot me a look. "Zoey, stop. Are you trying to push her into it?"

He moved toward Sheila, trying to calm her down. Sheila screamed, "Stay away from me! If you come any closer, I'll jump
