Chapter 10: Night One

I did not call the police from Lacey's garage.

I put my phone in my pocket, stepped around Brent on his crate, and walked past Lacey without touching her.

She watched me go with a small, patient smile.

She thought she had won.

Davis was waiting at the end of Hollin Court with the engine running.

He looked at my face and drove away without asking.

Nobody said anything until we reached the studio.

Wanda was in the back room with her glasses on, pinning a hem.

She took one look at me, put the pins down and filled the kettle.

I sat at the cutting table and put my phone in front of her and Davis.

I showed them every photo.

When I got to the sealed boxes, Wanda made a sound in her throat.

"I'll kill her," she said, and she meant it.

"You'll sit down," Davis said gently.

"She cannot prove she never watched you," Wanda said to me, tapping the table. "That's her whole game. It's your word against hers."

"I know."

"Is there any record? A camera, a message, a voice mail?"

I opened my mouth to say no.

Then I stopped.

"She filmed it," I said.

They both looked at me.

"She said it would help me stay positive. Every night, she'd set her phone up on a little stand and film the whole thing. She'd say, 'Night one hundred, you're doing amazing, sweetheart.' She made me an album and shared it with me."

"On your phone?"

"On a cloud account." My hands were already moving on the screen. "I haven't opened it since the second cycle failed. I couldn't."

I scrolled through my account.

The album was called Our Baby Journey.

There were four hundred and fourteen videos.

My throat closed.
