Chapter 74

• I didn't want to talk to the investigators so Lovie made an excuse. She went with me to the bedroom. She even helped me lie down on the bed which I greatly appreciated because at this point I felt drained. My body and mind were both tired. I laid on my side and was staring at the wall while she put a blanket over me. I didn't look at her when she sat on the edge of the bed and held my hand. She leaned forward to look closer at my face. I heard her gasp when she saw my lip. She uttered something inaudible when she took a glimpse of my wrists too.
• "Oh Camille! Who did these to you? Did Caleb see?" she asked in a quavering voice.
• "Please get me some ice ," I said in a voice which sounded like a whisper.
