Harmonic
“Lattimer says when we ask to interview Monty. “He’s refusing visitors. He is, in fact, refusing to speak to anyone.”
“He might respond to me.” I can’t believe I’m pleading for a chance to see someone I hate so much. “I’m family.”
Lattimer considers my words, running a finger over a blown-glass paperweight. Inside is a small tree, green branches unfurling from a thick brown trunk.
“Delancey’s the only family member he’ll agree to see.”
The words sting. I know Del’s his favorite, ...but it’s never put me at a disadvantage before. Being Monty’s second-best girl is one thing, but second-best Walker—in any situation—is entirely different. “He won’t get her. Nothing in the world will convince Del to visit him.”
Lattimer hums; impossible to say if he agrees. “You’ll have to pursue other avenues. I would recommend focusing on the present, not the past.”MoreLess
