Guilty
“I tell myself, if I don’t hurry, I’ll be late. First I am walking fast. Then I am jogging. Then I break into a run. People turn to look at me as I speed past them. A hundred questions and regrets are spinning around in my head. Maybe if I run fast enough, I will leave them behind.
But, of course, I don’t.
The whole time I’m running, I think about Finn Newsome. It was a mistake to give him my phone number, just like it was a mistake to make this latest call.
Or was it?
I knew what I was doing wh...en I recited my phone number, just like I knew what I was doing when I went to that funeral. I wanted to talk to him. I wanted him to tell me exactly what he saw. But then what happened? I made a mess of it when he turned up at my door. All I succeeded in doing was upsetting him. I didn’t get a chance to ask him what I’d wanted to.
Okay, that’s not the truth—not the whole of it anyway.
The truth is that I chickened out. I was afraid what he would think if I started asking about that night and about what had happened to his mother all those years ago.MoreLess
