“I believe in spirits. I believe sometimes the people you love and lose, they stay with you. It can be little things. A song coming on the radio at just the right time. Or sometimes it’s like you can hear them say something, some reaction that’s just so perfect for what they would have said if they’d been standing right next to you. Or you feel them still ... loving you.”

“my shoulder. She dropped her knees and let her feet hit the floor. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get so upset.” Her entire demeanor changed. One quick nod from her father, and Aubrey’s tears dried up. Just how much had he overheard? How much had Aubrey told him before I got here? “Fine,” I said. “I’ll try and think of someone I might have seen after I left the park,” she said. “I’m sure there’s someone,” Dan chimed in. “She hasn’t been sleeping since all this started. You understand.” “I do,” I said rising. “But you both need to understand how serious this is. I need complete honesty. No surprises. I can’t sugarcoat things. I’m not your enemy.

She looked so small. “I’m going to need access to your medical records, your school records. You made a phone call to a friend of yours earlier in the night.

We’ll have more to talk about when that gets back. In the meantime, anything I ask for, you need to get it for me. No questions. No arguments. This is the rest of your life we’re talking about, Aubrey. Not your mom’s. Not your dad’s. Yours. Do you understand?” She nodded but dropped her head again. “Good,” I said. “I need to be one step ahead of the prosecution at all times. Is there anything in those records I just mentioned that’s going to make me unhappy?” “Aubrey was seeing a therapist a little while back,” Dan said. “Your basic teenage drama.” Aubrey didn’t make eye contact with me. Teenage drama, my ass, I thought. Something was going on with this girl. Something tricky enough that Larry Drazdowski was bothered by it. And I was starting to believe with all my heart her father was at the center of it. Chapter 8 Someone was lying. Someone was always lying. In Aubrey’s case, it was more a lie of omission. And her father was a problem. Instinct told me he’d been coaching her all along. She still trusted”

“of laughter and delighted screams came to us from the sledding hills a few yards away. We could see them from a large window. This building was used most often for banquets and weddings. Charlie’s eyes drifted to the kids. For a moment, he smiled. Then it melted into a blank stare. I imagined his grief was like that.
