She no longer felt suspicious of Nicholas once they had talked, and definitely once they had settled in to watch a movie after Eddie left them alone. As she walked into her bedroom, she was still free of the thoughts that had strangled her before. But she found as she headed to the bathroom for a shower, that her mind had nothing else to chew on, so it went in the direction she had avoided for the past few hours. She didn’t want to think about all the clues, but they swarmed past her, teasing her. She knew a memory was coming, and she tried to run away but couldn’t since she didn’t know which way to go. Once she started showering, she realized the battle was lost—the thoughts came at her from all sides, becoming louder and clearer until she could no longer ignore them or push them away. Then they stopped tickling her brain, slowing down to peel back the layers of her memory and show her their spoils. She remembered...His strange behavior and facial expressions when he spoke to her in the beginning, running away from her.
