Chapter 22 The Night Before She Died

• "Ask Adrian why your mother met him alone the night before she died."
• The words hung in the air.
• I didn't move, Nobody moved. The fire from the destroyed vault continued burning somewhere behind us, throwing orange light across every face. I stared at Adrian. He stared at the ground. His jaw was tight. His hands were still. He looked exactly like a man who had been waiting for this moment and dreading it at the same time.
