glanced at her and infused some kindness into my voice. “It’s okay.”
I couldn't believe I was trying to comfort her. But she looked so genuinely afraid, so worried that I couldn't help but feel pangs of sympathy. I guess I had a heart after all.
Brittany whimpered something and reached for Cole, but he shrugged her off. He didn't look at her. He didn't look at me. He was looking at the sink—but I knew he was imagining the person who had paid the fee that led to Brittany's forced imprisonment. I hoped the person had their affairs in order, because there was death coursing through the veins that flexed as he squeezed the countertop.
Brittany shuffled in my direction, not looking at me before she pivoted and pushed the terry robe off her shoulders with a sigh. I looked past the raw bruises on her neck, my eyes dropping to her shoulder blade.
I read the name once.
I read it twice.
The third time I stumbled backwards, the name finally sinking in.
I opened my mouth and it fell out like a curse. “Alicia.”
