CHAPTER SIXTEEN
A wreck.
That’s how Avery felt when she left Randall: like a complete and utter wreck. She thought those days, that time in her life, had been forgotten. No, she realized. You didn’t try to forget. You tried to erase it completely from your life. They were back now. That single memory brought others to the surface. Get out, she thought. Get out of my head!
The only way she could make it stop was to focus on Howard and his riddle. He never used words lightly. He was a former Harvard professor, and everything had a double meaning or some hidden meaning or more than one meaning.
He said “He gave you the cycle,” she thought. What cycle? What has a cycle? What else is a body? she wondered and mentally referred back to the victim.
There was a star over her body.
Cycles…
