“Okay,” I said. “Well then why didn’t they wait?”

“Because technically, Addison Carter wasn’t Addison Carter any longer. She was Addison McBride. Wife of Abraham McBride. They were married three months ago in a ceremony in Germany. He was the one who made the decision to cremate his wife. The reason the parents were able to go get the belongings is because Abraham McBride was shipped out to parts unknown. I’m currently working on finding out where,” she answered before I could ask.

“Married?” Addison squeaked. “She would’ve told me!”

“She wouldn’t have if she thought you might be in danger if you were told,” I guessed.

“Correct,” Folsom confirmed. “Going through her phone, there are hundreds of text messages threatening Ande and her family if she talked or tried to leave. Addison was terrified that he would make good on these promises. And, considering that he was a Major General… she believed him.”

ANDE

Garrett was the one to pick me up, not Quinn.

I smiled and waved, even though I’d rather let the frown take over my face, and the tears continue to leak out of my eyes.

God.

The atrocities that my sister had experienced at the hands of a man named Abraham McBride…

I hoped that when he was found, the world was as cruel to him as he was to my sister.

“You ready, Freddy?” Garrett asked.

I caught up my purse and the journal, then nodded at my brother. “Ready.”

We walked out the door, and he frowned. “You didn’t get much done in six hours.”

I felt my stomach roll.

God, why did they all have to be so observant all the time?

“It was hard,” I said. “Going through her things…”
