With each passing day, Ella was becoming more confused and agitated and I was feeling more stir crazy, which only led to increased flashbacks from the whole ordeal.

So, on Monday morning, I got dressed for work.

“Where are you going?” Edrick asked, looking up from his newspaper as I walked through the living room.

although I wasn’t going to pressure him, I hoped that he would also talk to her about what really happened, and what her mother was really like. I doubted that he would do it so soon, though. Part of me thought that he should set up counseling for her ahead of time, as that news would no doubt come as a major shock to her. She might even resent him for lying to her.
