Chapter 32

CHLOE

Mere moments before, I’d been ready to leave them all behind when the very air around us sizzled as Pascal Dennison made an appearance, he told us to leave the Porter’s house, which was fine with me, I was already leaving. Till he looked at me directly for what felt like the first time and said.

“ If I were you, I wouldn’t go to Vincent’s, not right now at least. I just left there. Let’s just say I left him and Jacinta in sour moods. But you can’t stay here either.”

And for what felt like an eternity, he and Jane simply stared at each other, with a mixture of emotions written on my mother’s face. He turned and left without saying a word, while my mother looked as angry as a tempest.

Jane had decided that it wasn’t safe for us to remain in town. Mark commented on having connections out of town, enough for us to get a pretty decent safehouse. He made some calls and before long we were in his car on our way out of Drewsy.

Tension in the car was so palpable I could almost taste it.
