“A long time?”
“A long time,” I nodded.
“How long?”
“Right after Maggie and I left…one visitor…how should I put this? One visitor wore out his usefulness very early on.”
“Just like that?”
“Just like that. And I didn’t mind at all.”
“The other visitor…”
“She drank an unfortunate cup of tea,” I swallowed, suddenly hardened again.
Spencer smiled slightly, “In that case, remind me to ask for a glass of water instead.”
I laughed, but since I knew the truth, it seemed disrespectful, “Is that your way of asking for a glass of water?”
“You’re a bit of a rude hostess, and yes…”
I pushed my chair out quickly and crossed the floors once again to open the refrigerator.
“I only have bottles.”
“That’s still water, isn’t it? In a different outfit, but still water.”
I nodded again, and brought it to her.
“Speaking of which, Spencer, you look different.”
“I am different.”
That was the wrong thing for me to say. Of course. Of course she was different. Why would she be the same?
“Sorry.”
“What are you apologizing for?”
“For ignoring the obvious.”
“I see.”
She sipped her water as Maggie giggled in the background.
“She seems happy,” Spencer says, fingering the loose label of her bottle.
“I think she is.”
“Does she ask for Glen?”
From tiptoeing to loud, deliberate stomping in a moment.
“She used to. I told her he was on a trip, and that she would see him soon. She’s a child, so of course, that was all it took.”
“Children aren’t stupid. Just because she’s no longer asking doesn’t mean she’s no longer wondering.”
“Yes, well…”
“How is your sister?”
“Kyla?”
“It wouldn’t surprise me, but do you have another sister that I don’t know about?”
“No.”
“Then yes, Kyla.”
“I haven’t spoken with her in a long time. But the last time we were on the phone, she was fine. Maybe a bit rattled, but fine.”
“Did you ever tell her about Aiden?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“It was just something she didn’t need to know.”
“Where is he?”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to make you an accomplice. He’s where he is. We’ll leave it at that.”
“You killed him?”
“Spencer…”
“I’m more curious about the action than the fact that he’s dead. I’m more curious about what it feels like.”

what stix04 said…..i couldnt have said it better myself…pms
read this earlier but didn’t have time to comment but I just reread it and it was brilliant as stix said. I’m amazed that they were both so calm with one another, although I was glad that ashley was crying. at least she realizes everything that has happened. very excited about the next chapters, and thrilled that you will grace us with another story before your retirement!
and you’ve hammered out yet another amazing chapter! it definitely wasn’t what i had imagined their meeting would be like. And like stix04 said, the dialogue was fantastic! it was so calm, which freaks me out a little. i’m just waiting for the shit to hit the fan… i really can’t wait to see how you wrap this all up! i’ll be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting! thanks for writing, you are brillant. oh and high five on doing one more story! you made my day =)
*applause*beautifully written!! fantastic. I was on the edge of my seat from the 1st word to the last! gosh, I was totally absorbed by this. thx for updating. I’m a lil sad it’s coming to an end BUT glad u’re throwing another story, our way, soon :)PMS
That was breathtakingly brilliant- start to finish, breathtakingly brilliant. The pacing was perfect, the descriptions were vivid, Ashley’s thoughts just right, and the dialogue was fantastic! I really cannot wait to see how this ends, and knowing that you’re writing another story is comforting…I don’t know why I’m using that word, but it really is. Awesome chapter, you nailed it!
Awesome chapter. I know I said it before but I’ll say it again, your writing is awesome. Can’t wait to see how this story ends.
