“Things got out of hand and I didn’t know what to do. I hope you can believe that.”
“You were my friend. You knew my sister. You taught me in high school.”
“And I loved you. From the first time I saw you, I loved you. And I never stopped.”
“Then how could you do that to me?”
“I saw you on your bike riding along. You were so beautiful. And I was in the police car. I felt...wonderful. So free. I wanted to take you for a ride. But you didn’t want to go. I believed you loved me too, so I insisted. You slapped me. That made me angry, very angry, because all I wanted to do was take you for a ride.”
“So then you raped me!”
“I really thought you wanted to, Alex. But afterward you were so furious that—”
“—that you tried to kill me. You left me for dead!”
“I love you.”
“If you love me, you’ll let me go. Now.”
He drew nearer. “I can’t do that. Deep down you know that.”
“You killed my sister!” she screamed.
He said hurriedly, “No, no, I didn’t. My uncle—”
“Fuck you and your uncle!”
He took a step back and looked down. “I know that you’re upset.”
“Yes, I’m upset,” she cried out. “Because now you’re going to kill me.”
“I wasn’t going to, even if you did remember.”
“What are you talking about?”
“But then you betrayed me.”
“What!?”
He drew closer and studied her. “You were going to let your idiot brother sell your home. You were going to move away. Well, I took care of that, or I tried to. But that wasn’t your worst betrayal.”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw you in your art studio with...him.”
“Who?” she said defiantly.
“Travis Devine. I saw how you both were looking at each other. You kissed him! You went to the house together. I know what you did. I know.” He shook his head in disappointment. “I thought you would have known better.”
“Just stop it. Stop it and let me go.”
Bing just kept shaking his head. “I would have kept the faith, Alex, if you had.”
“Just stop it. Stop it!”
“If there was any other way—”
“There is a way. You let me go and turn yourself in.”
