“Nothing concrete, but I haven’t had a chance to go through her texts or emails yet. I’m sure I’ll find something soon.”

I wiped my nose and realized I was holding back tears. My heart was breaking, not just for myself, but my dad. The news would devastate him. But I couldn’t tell him until we had proof. I didn’t want Juliet to be able to talk her way out of this.

“Do you want me to come over?” he asked.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted to be alone or not. Either way, I was going to spend the night hiding from Dad so he didn’t see me crying.

“I’m pretty tired from today. I think I’m just going to read until I fall asleep.”

“Let me know if you need anything.” He paused. “I missed you today.”

“Me too.” I wanted to tell him I wished he could come with us. He’d probably be better at sneaking around than I was.

“G’night.”

He ended the call, and I curled up on my bed, staring at the wall while trying to figure out how this happened. Why did Dad and I attract such horrible people? After all we’d been through, didn’t we deserve a happily ever after?
