Chapter 20

• When Andrew had gone into the kitchen with Dalia, I cleaned up her dolls and began packing my belongings. Dalia was so excited to show Andrew the cake that I knew she wouldn't mind if I didn't say goodbye. Before getting up and walking to the front door, I double-checked that I had my phone and keys in my purse.
• "Are you leaving so soon, kitten?" A rough voice said behind me.
• In a crowd, I could hear his voice and only one person called me "kitten."
