mentioned Ron.
Never mentioned Caleb.
I called Laura over.
Her face changed the moment she saw the photo.
“Oh my God.”
“What?”
She looked at me.
Then at Caleb.
Then back at me.
“Erin…”
Her voice trembled.
“Your mother was my roommate.”
My heart stopped.
Laura covered her mouth.
“She was the one who helped me escape Ron.”
The world seemed to vanish around me.
“She hid me for three weeks.”
I couldn’t breathe.
“And Ron knew exactly who she was.”
My phone buzzed again.
Another message.
This time, no
