Wedding Day of Murder
“Jason hadn’t meant to fall asleep. He jumped and reached for his phone, clunking Lacy’s head. It was pillowed on his chest, and she was drooling. He multitasked—glancing at his phone while reaching for a tissue to mop the puddle on his shirt.
“We need you.”
Three words from Arroyo, and his day off was over. Sounds from the kitchen indicated that someone was home and Lacy wouldn’t be alone. There was no need to stay, no reason except his own worry. What if Lacy woke up out of her head again? Wou...ld she be afraid? Angry?
Would her family be able to contain her? It was a ridiculous notion; they had been taking care of her for twenty-six years. Why did he believe he did it better? Why did he believe he loved her more?
Still, he waited another moment, reluctant to go. He kissed the top of her head and eased from the bed, hoping he would find Mr. Middleton in the kitchen. Instead he found Lacy’s mom, humming distractedly as she unloaded silk flowers from a bag.
