Chapter 589

• Another day passed in silence in our house. Kiran phoned every six hours to check up on me, disguising the phone call as concern for Kari, but I knew he was making sure that I was with her. Kari was still in shock, coming to grips with the fact that her whole blood family was now dead.
• The police turned up at our house the next day to break the news to Kari, that they had found James in his car, shot in the head. I stood behind her as tears made their way across her cheeks. She cried the whole time, and I felt helpless, but she refused to let Kiran take the pain from her.
• I spoke to Raven every day, and on the third day, I finally managed to go and see her. Everything inside me screamed to be with her, and I couldn’t stay away, no matter how much I told myself I shouldn’t go, that Kiran would be disappointed in me.
