Yeah, I could see where Anna picked up her scare tactics from. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Threats of suicide. Anna pulled this one too many times. I got sick of it. Sheila was doing the same thing, so I had to compare the actresses. Force of habit, sorry

Adam wasn't as composed as I was. His face was etched with worry. "Sheila, get down from there. What are you thinking?"

"Why should I? You don't trust me. If you're going to accuse me, maybe Id be better off dead."

I spoke without hesitation, my tone steady. "Alright, jump then. Don't let me stop you. Do a barrel roll if

you can."

The room went still. All eyes were on me, but I kept my expression neutral. "Come on, it's just the second floor. Not like you're actually gonna die. Paralyzed from the waist down, maybe. That's actually better for

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

"Okay, okay. I won't come any closer. Just calm down."

Adam tried to reason with her, I walked past them, making sure to taunt Sheila. "Go ahead. Jump. I dare you. Don't just talk about it. I'll
