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

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
