Chapter 32
Emily's POV
I did not sleep that night.
I lay in the dark staring at the ceiling with my phone face down on the pillow beside me like turning the screen away from me meant the message was not there anymore.
Adrian had dropped me home after dinner and kissed me at the door and told me not to think too much about his mother and I had smiled and said I wouldn't and closed the door and immediately thought about nothing else.
We need to talk.
Four words. Unknown number. Sent at exactly the moment I was sitting in that car trying to steady my breathing.
I picked the phone up twice in the night and put it back down without responding.
I did not know who sent it, i told myself it could be anyone or a wrong number. Someone from work, someone completely unconnected to anything.
