“Ben and I arrive at my father’s place around ten. My mouth is dry as I gaze up at the sagging, brick façade of the row house, and my heart is pounding hard. Ben squeezes my hand and pulls me into his body for a quick hug. I melt into him, calmed by his strength and the sense I’m home when I’m in his arms. When I feel ready, I release him and take his hand again, tugging him into the row house. It’s quiet and cramped after the few days at Ben’s spacious home. Erish is at my heels, his presence h...eavy enough I catch myself looking over my shoulder to make sure he’s not standing behind me with a knife. I have no intention of giving him a chance to act against me. I pull Ben into the study, and we stand in the doorway, overlooking the mess I created. Familiar sorrow and longing settle into me as I gaze at my father’s desk. I want to think he didn’t die completely miserable.
