Chapter 39
It was a sunny morning as I drove down one of the busiest of the Las Vegas streets. It was surprisingly crowded all the way through as 1 adjusted my sunglasses for the tenth time since I started driving.
The sun was bright and hot-a little too much of both as it beat down on me. The sudden heat waves were the things I hated the most about living in Las Vegas, but it beat a hurricane or blizzard any day.
I shifted lanes as I pulled off the highway and onto the familiar road before me. Kids were out playing in the nice community. It was a pricier neighborhood but worth it.
I smiled as I heard the familiar tune of the ice cream truck several blocks down, probably giving joy to the kids of Viewpoint Circle.
But ice cream and the heat wave were not what I was here for.
I pulled into the familiar driveway, shutting off my car as I stepped out, locking it with a click of the remote.
I glanced at the stones lining the pathway heading to the house, seeing four sets of handprints imprinted into the rocks.
My name was scribbled on one of them, hands far too tiny to be an adult.
It felt like I’d made those handprints in a different lifetime.
When I reached the door, I raised my hand to knock, but the door had already flung open.
Piers, my grandmother’s butler, stood there as stiff and unusual as ever.
“Good morning. Miss Adelaide,” Piers said in a monotone voice.
“Are you ever going to tell me how you do that, Piers?” I smiled, pulling off my sunglasses. “Cause I’d love to know that party
trick.”
“Practice, Miss Adelaide,” Piers said, his lips twitching at the corner in a way that I knew meant he was laughing inwardly. “Mrs. Hildebrand is waiting for you.”
He opened up the door, stepping aside as I entered. The place was spotless as ever, but the walls were quickly running out of
