I pulled out my phone to call Mrs. Collins, the housekeeper, but my battery was dead.
Just when I thought I'd have to stand there dripping blood all night, Patricia appeared with a key.
"Caleb said you can use the guest bathroom at the end of the hall. But hurry, we're starting the slideshow."
My mind was half-frozen, but I managed a nod and dragged myself to the small bathroom.
The first thing I saw when I returned downstairs was Theo curled up in Selena's lap, watching the slideshow of Olivia, while Caleb sat beside them. They looked like the picture-perfect family.
I tried to slip past them to the kitchen, but Caleb spotted me.
"You know Theo needs you here for the slideshow. From now on, don't disappear when he needs you."
I gave a cold, tired smile and said calmly, "Then you better hire a professional therapist soon. Or maybe have Selena step in, I've written down all his routines. I'll be gone tomorrow, remember?"
A sharp clang rang out. Caleb had slammed his glass onto the table, the sound making everyone turn.
